Summary: COVERS THE BASIC MUST HAVES IN NYC: bagels, etc.
Comment: Great little book. Nice for local New Yorker's like me who just want a quick reference. Great small maps of NYC along w/detailed subway travel info. (As you know, REAL New Yorker's don't drive into Manhattan!) The must haves, like where to get a bagel in each neighborhood along with other services is very handy. Just like the title says: Not For Tourists. For folks visiting the Big Apple looking for a more detailed book for your stay, try the Michelin Green Guide for New York City 2002. edition.

Summary: All you need in the Big Apple
Comment: Even though I am a New Yorker I find this book very very helpful. All you need to get around in the Big Apple is this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Most detailed, reliable yet inconspicuous
Comment: When I travel, I buy two kinds of guidebooks: one that offers a lot of history and details about places to visit and another one that fits in my pocket and offers the most detailed maps. I study the first book prior to my trip or in my hotel and use the latter one to navigate places, because I hate blatantly giving myself away as a tourist as I unfold a huge map in the middle of the street. "Not For Tourists Guide to NYC" was just perfect because it had all of the streets illustrated by neighborhoods and included street numbers as well. For each neighborhood, there are three maps: one that offers a list of places to eat or entertain, one that shows essential services like police station or the post office, and finally one that shows the area with subway stops and parking spots. In addition to its small size, the cover was entirely black and chic, which made me feel comfortable pulling it out on the streets or even on the subway. It was my first extended visit to NYC last weekend and my friend and I gave directions to five or six tourists/New Yorkers in three days! Everyone who asked for directions was very impressed with my NFT Guide, as were my friends who live in the city. I plan to relocate to NYC later this year and am confident that my NFT Guide will help me get acquainted to the city as quickly as possible. If you are like me and want accurate directions while blending in with the natives, I highly recommend that you bring a copy of the NFT Guide with you. Since this book mainly consists of highly detailed maps only, I recommend that you also buy another guidebook that offers you background history and/or information on sightseeing, if you want to know info such as museum hours of operation, history of certain buildings, anecdotes, etc. I just hope that NFT brings more guidebooks on other cities in the USA and beyond!
