Summary: Still the best
Comment: Because I note that the existing reviews on this site refer to the previous edition, this New Yorker recommends the Blue Guide as the only NY guidebook you will need. I refer to mine again and again.
One caveat: the subway lines are now happily back to normal, again running to South Ferry, and the map included in this book, which went to press shortly after the World Trade Center disaster, is out of date. Updated maps are posted in every subway station and train, are available free at every subway change booth, and can be reviewed on the Web.

Summary: The Best Architectural Guide To New York City
Comment: Simply the best book available for those seriously interested in a detailed architectural history of New York, even though the most recent edition was published in 1991. Unbelievably rich in detail. As other reviewers point out however, this is NOT a typical "tourist" guide about where to eat, sleep or have fun in New York.

Rating: 5
Summary: Even for New Yorkers, a treasure trove of history
Comment: New York is a fascinating place today, and even more so after learning about its history and architecture from this well-written and researched guide book. Did you know that the land under the Empire State Building was originally owned by the Astor family? Or that the NY Public Library and Bryant Park reside on what was the Croton reservoir? Such tidbits abound.
