Synopsis
This opening fold-out contains a general map of New York to help you visualize the 8 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.
Discover New York through 8 districts and 8 maps
Downtown
Lower East Side/ East Village
SoHo/ Greenwich Village/ Chelsea/ TriBeCa
Midtown East
Times Square/ Theater District
Upper East Side
Upper West Side
Central Park/ Harlem
For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, tearooms, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that New York has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.
Transportation and hotels in New York
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.
A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

April 28, 2009: I used this recently and found it to be a small, convenient resource for getting around New York City. It was much nicer then trying to unfold large, tourist type maps I had used on previous trips. Unlike bulky books that try to tell you everything there is to know, this one focuses mainly on the maps of each section of New York. It fit easily in my medium sized purse or a large pocket in my jacket. It was easy to use and well organized. Although the maps were great, some of the information wasn't quite up to date; i.e., it said you could still tour the NY Stock Exchange which has been closed to the public for quite a while. I wouldn't depend on it for deciding where to eat or which attractions to see. All-in-all, I would recommend this book to anyone touring NY and I'm glad I had it while I was there.
