The Extraordinary Guide: New York - by Muriel Françoise & Sylvie Li (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Explore the authentic side of New York with a deep dive into the city as the locals know it.

The vibrant and dynamic neighborhoods of New York are packed with iconic buildings, brilliant Broadway shows, and world-famous museums--but there is still plenty to discover for those seeking something off the beaten path in this iconic city. Perfect for an adventurous traveler--where The Rough Guide crowd meets the Wallpaper audience--this book is for anyone yearning to be inspired and excited by travel, and who is hungry for the less obvious.

Packed with delis, diners, food trucks, night markets, and much more, New York's thriving street food scene is a haven for foodies looking to take the subway beyond Chinatown and Little Italy. Art enthusiasts can skip high-end galleries to explore instead the installations, intriguing exhibits, and underground art of Greenwich while fashionistas can stroll down Seventh Avenue for next-level window shopping or visit the carefully curated flea markets, a cornucopia of fashion and style options.

There is a chapter for each of the key neighborhoods along with maps, walking itineraries, and lists of the essential pit stops along the way. The ideal guide for those planning a trip, those who have already been and want a keepsake to remember the city by, or those who are simply sitting at home longing to be somewhere else.
