With stunning photos and interesting descriptions of the city's vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods, history and culture, this book is as much a celebration of the Big Apple as it is a practical guidebook. Every page is packed with photographs and illustrations which show off New York's architecture and sights to maximum effect. You can also clue up on the basics, from the most comfortable places to stay to the best bars and restaurants. Major museums and attractions such as Ellis Island, get extended coverage. With detailed visiting information, excellent maps, and plenty of good restaurants, shops and hotels to choose from, this is the only guide you will need.
