Best book on living in NY I've found

I just found this book and think it's the best I've ever seen on living in New York. It's really well written and covers an incredible range of topics -- a great resource. It's a book no New Yorker should be without.

Excellent guide for Manhattanites

This is a fabulous guide for all kinds of products and services in New York City. The authors have found the answers to lots of hard-to-find things in New York. Makes living in the city easier!

Excelent for finding resources in Manhattan

I needed contractors for work in my apartment and the selection in this Guide were excellent. The work was done on time and very professional.I will use it again for various services.

Ultra useful wide-ranging info, written with style & taste

One of my favorite books of all time was the NY Bargain Hunter, a little yellow book crammed with dense type and arcane symbols that told where to get just about anything in the city. It was full of obsessively-gathered advice and compulsive detail. Manhattan User's Guide, a wonderful newsletter, is a more high-toned modern day descendant of the old Bargain Hunter, and this book is a phenomenally useful best-of compendium. If Suisman and Molesworth lack the maniacal thoroughness of their forebear, they make up for it with elegant design and impeccable, miraculously consistent taste. There are a surprising number of restaurant tips, mostly middle tier "nice" places with a few forays above and below.
