"City Guide New York" is the comprehensive guidebook to one of North America's most exciting destinations. It provides floorplans for all the city's major museums. Full-colour photography combines with the lively text to help you discover the real Big Apple. Forget all the crowds at the regular sights and explore New York like a New Yorker, in the delis, local bars, and small theatres that give this city its energy. There's a brand new chapter covering Long Island and the Hudson River Valley and parts of the Jersey Shore. Our inspirational "Insight recommends" section outlines top attractions and activities not to miss, while features by local writers cover a range of subjects - including the best places to grab a hotdog or watch the famous subway series between the Yankees and the Mets. Thirteen Places chapters cover the entire city, giving you the detailed information you need to plan your perfect trip. Evocative accounts of the city's history and culture combine with lively descriptions of the best neighbourhoods, all illustrated with full colour photographs. Colour maps throughout help you get around, and the Travel Tips provide all the planning information you'll need.
