Righty Up My "Savvy" Alley

Without a doubt - my favorite New York Travelers book that goes so far beyond the usual "tourist" finds. This book is for the unknown and "local" treasures. "Savvy in the City: New York City" a - See Jane Go Guide to City Living by Sheridan Becker and Jayne Young is a wonderful little gem that breaks down those hard to find places by neighborhood and category. Each of those contains :Eats ... (from the best and greatest - to those small little gems)Treats ... (from massages to tattoo's)Traumas... (for when you break your Prada heals) Treasures ... (those really whims)Twilight... (all the great clubs)Tripping ... (for those with adventure on their mind)You'll find great little sections such as best cheap manicures and diviest pubs. It's all those must haves for young woman in the BIG CITY. Great resource and really user friendly. Loved the whole feel and illustration.Cheers!

NY Book For Native New York's

By far the best NY book I've ever read. I'm a native and I found so many hidden treasures such as coffee shops, libraries, and places you'd never think to spot celebrities. Everything that defines NY is in this book, from the Soup Nazi (a la Seinfeld) to picturesque hideouts in Central Park. And everything NY has to offer...personal chefs, where to find a tailor at 3am, $25 massages. Enjoy!

the best guide I have found

I was searching for one good book to use for my recent trip to New York (for business) and . . . THANK GOD for Savvy in the city. Instead of taking Zagat's, books on shopping and more, I only had to have this book with me. It looks so cute too that I was not embarrased to pull it out. My friend used it too who I was staying with over the weekend. I wish you had one for Dallas??? I would buy this book for every city! Keep em' coming.

A real lifesaver

I have recently relocated to New York City and could not have made it without this book. I usually pride myself in keeping up with what's happening - but I must admit this book has made my life much much easier with less effort. I am going to Paris in the fall - please tell me they will have one for Paris ssssssoooooonnnnnnnnn? (I have given several away to friends and they love them too.)

very, very savvy

Savvy in the City is truly the first guide book I have actually followed! It is easy to use (divided by needs and locations), funny to read, and most of all true to its words.
