Everything Newcomers Need to Know About New York

The Newcomers Handbook for Moving to and Living in New York City is a thorough and comprehensive book that tells the reader almost everything that he or she needs to know about the New York City metropolitan area. The book provides detailed descriptions of a wide variety of neighborhoods and communities in and around New York City. The detailed descriptions give a good sense of what each neighborhood and community is about and thus enable the newcomer to narrow his or her focus in terms of finding the right place to live. The book also provides a great deal of useful information. This information includes sources of services, names of government agencies, names and addresses of retail establishments, and guidance on the process of apartment-hunting that seems to be unique to New York City. As if to highlight its attention to detail, the book includes a Manhattan Address Locator on page five. This odd little table provides the "secret formula" for finding out the cross streets for almost any address anywhere on the island of Manhattan. Newcomers will find this item particularly useful as they try to navigate their way across Manhattan in search of housing and employment. I highly recommend this book to any newcomer to the New York City metropolitan area.
