Customer Reviews

Awesome resource

This book is Great! I bought it because Iwas looking for a good yoga studio in my neighborhood. The reviews wereright on and I found a place that I LOVE. Next stop, a meditation class...

I actually used it

I had just started a program of meditation at my local Buddhist center when I traveled to New York for a conference. Thanks to this book I did not miss a beat in my new regime and I made some new friends.

Good for non-new yorkers

I don't even live in NY and I LOVE this book--it is so much more than a guidebook, it has so much information about various religions and cultures, with even some history thrown in--a great primer for those interested in learning about the range of religions and spiritual pursuits that are out there.

Making Sense of the Chaos

Finding anything, from the perfect bagel to the best socks, in NYC can be daunting, because there are always so many choices. Waage and Applestone help attenuate this difficulty by doing the hard work of culling through the thousands of offerings for alternative spiritual activites in NYC. The breadth of their analysis is striking, as is their insight into the range of activities and facilities available throughout New York. My friends from Europe were particularly happy to find a guide that was as thorough, clever and fun to read as this one.

Seattle Guy Digs Book

I'm not much of a freaky religous person, so this book was perfect for me. I enjoyed it as an opportunity to learn more about the very diverse and numerous ways in which people seek out and find their spiritual needs. If finding a place in NY that fits your personal needs is your goal, this book is definitely for you. If having an open mind and understanding the way others fulfill their inner-self, this is also a good read. Could have had more pictures, but I guess it helps to leave it up to your mind as to how to interpret the zillion locales in NY.
