 They aren't kidding June 18, 2008

I checked this book out from the library and dropped it in my suitcase without looking at it right before a trip to New York. I assumed the title was pandering to every person's belief that they are not a tourist--that's everyone ELSE. Well, I didn't need to find any hardware stores or pet supply stores so this book never left my hotel room. I am sure it's a great book but don't think of it as a travel guide. So my 3-star rating is an average of 4 stars for what it probably is, and 2 stars for what I thought it was!
 Really convenient and practical little black book! May 18, 2008
This book was great. I just returned from my trip to NY and I can tell you this book was a great help. I even got one for a friend who lives in NY and thought it was an excellent guide. It's easy to use and it size its really practical. You see people walking around NY with big maps or books, but this one fits in your pocket and has all the information you need. Other guides are just full with information, which is helpful but makes it really cumbersome to find things while you are walking around.

I purchased this for both NYC and Brooklyn and it's been a life saver. This book tells you where to find the things you need when you live in a city. Laundrymat? Banks? Coffee shop where the locals hang out? History and maps of the neighborhoods? It's all here. Also very small and easy to carry with you. One of my friends who visited for a week, prefered to carry this over the traditional guide books, due to the size.
very handy May 3, 2008

I wouldn't recommend this for a first time traveler to NYC as the maps can be a little difficult to follow (broken up into smaller neighborhoods). It was handy to have in our backpack because it had almost every restaurant that we could think of listed in it, along with their phone numbers, address, time they were open to, and a brief comment on the food there (including which places to avoid). If you're from out of town and need to find the nearest branch of your local bank, it's in there. If you're looking for a coffee shop other than Starbucks, it's in there.

Best guide for business person traveling to City on business. The longer there or more travel in area the better the value. Not for the tourist.
