Dk Eyewitness Travel Guide New York
It was an extensive guide to the city and the boroughs beyond Manhattan which proved to be very useful. The only problem with it was that it was heavy and rather large so it wasn't the best for carrying out while on holiday, and to be honest, that is the most important part of having a travel guide! However, a great guide if you are willing to plan before hand and write down the details of where you would like to see. I'm a big fan of the Eyewitness Travel Guides. The format is appealing - a lavishly illustrated introductory section expounding on the history and key features of the city followed by color-coded sections, each devoted to a different area. The rear of the book is devoted to practicalities such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment.
Since it heavily relies on pictures rather than words, it's easy to pick up a guide, thumb through it, and let a striking photo serve as inspirat I'm a big fan of the Eyewitness Travel Guides. The format is appealing - a lavishly illustrated introductory section expounding on the history and key features of the city followed by color-coded sections, each devoted to a different area. The rear of the book is devoted to practicalities such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment. Since it heavily relies on pictures rather than words, it's easy to pick up a guide, thumb through it, and let a striking photo serve as inspiration for where to go or what to do. The text on even the major sights is succinct, so if it's the full monty you're after, supplement this guide with something more substantial like a Blue Guide. However, if you want to get a quick sense of what a destination has to offer, an hour or so spent with one of these guides is probably one of the most effective ways to do background research.
One quibble is that since the Eyewitness Guides are printed on nice, heavy stock, they're not that light. Perhaps in the future another format - digital? - will get around this problem. One of my favorite places in the world: the Public Library. I have been so blessed to have had the opportunity to spend many hours of my life in this sacred place.
I love the peace, the feeling that you are surrounded by a wealth of knowledge that you can barely fathom. Then there are pages dedicated to different neighborhoods, and emblematic sightseeing.
The trump tower St. Patrick's Cathedral: Museums: Here is one interesting piece of art from one of those museums: Central Park is of course a must: And then the botanical garden. Such a nice place to visit! An finally, there is this beautiful emblematic landscape. A very complete travel guide to the city of New York. Book divides the city into 15 sections: Central Park, Upper East Side, Upper Midtown, Lower Midtown, Gramercy and the Flatiron District, East Village, Lower East Side, Brooklyn, Morningside Heights and Harlem, Upper West Side, Midtown West and the Theater District, Chelsea and the Garment District, Greenwich village, SoHo and TriBeCa, and Lower Manhattan and the Civic Center.
Each section begins with a map with all the noteworthy sites listed. A very complete travel guide to the city of New York.
