Jul 6th, 2007 at 9:40AM: This week's One for the Road suggestions start and end with mentions of Moon guides. Today it's another NYC guide, since this is my home-base (and where I usually try out different guidebooks when friends come to visit.) This week my pal Eszter, from Hungary, is visiting NYC (and the US!) for the very first time. Upon her arrival earlier this week I gave her several guidebooks as reference, since ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

One for the Road: Moon Metro NYC
Jul 6th, 2007 at 9:40AM: This week's One for the Road suggestions start and end with mentions of Moon guides. Today it's another NYC guide, since this is my home-base (and where I usually try out different guidebooks when friends come to visit.) This week my pal Eszter, from Hungary, is visiting NYC (and the US!) for the very first time. Upon her arrival earlier this week I gave her several guidebooks as reference, since ...One for the Road: The Slow Food Guide to NYC
Jul 5th, 2007 at 11:05AM: We haven't really talked much about the Slow Food movement here at Gadling -- we leave that to the experts, our friends over at Slashfood. But it's worth a mention, especially now, while I've got this great Slow Food Guide to NYC in my hands! Founded in Italy in 1986, Slow Food is an international movement dedicated to preserving regional cuisine and products from around the world, while also ...One for the Road: Lonely Planet Encounters
Jul 4th, 2007 at 10:58AM: I've got a friend visiting New York this week for the very first time, and in advance of her visit, I road-tested a few guides to see which might work best to use during her short stay. For the rest of this week, I'll feature the NYC versions of several guidebook series. Consider this part-two of my previous I Love NY mini-book reviews. First up is New York Encounter, the Big Apple edition of ...One for the Road: Take a Hike New York City
May 5th, 2007 at 9:47AM: Of all the books I've mentioned during this week's I Love New York series, this is the one I've enjoyed using the most, but not nearly as much as I'd like to. There's really no good excuse, but I'll blame it on winter weather. All the suggested hikes featured in Moon's Take a Hike New York City are located within two hours of Manhattan by bus, train or car. Skip Card has gathered a great selection ...New York: Telegraph & NG Traveler Online Guides
May 4th, 2007 at 11:40AM: Looks like I'm not the only one with a New York City state of mind this week. The Telegraph recently introduced a new weekly online travel guide, and this week's featured city is the one and only NYC. The colorful six-page PDF guide contains their top five picks for hotels, restaurants and city sites. And while the Telegraph guide focuses on more high-end and lux attractions like night clubs and ...One for the Road: Dorothy Parker's New York
May 4th, 2007 at 7:38AM: The ArtPlace Series from Roaring Forties Press is one of my all-time favorites. The concept is fantastic -- each book describes the life of an artist (or group of artists) as it relates to the city that he/she/they lived in. The possibilities are endless, and in New York alone I'm sure a whole sub-series of titles could be created. The one they have published for NYC is a real winner: A Journey ...One for the Road: Hidden New York
May 3rd, 2007 at 12:14PM: Today's New York book recommendation is for travelers in search of a more organic approach to exploring the city. This collection of 32 "Places That Matter" (and their offshoot "sister sights") offers visitors a unique cultural perspective on the five boroughs. Hidden New York is the result of collaboration between folklorists and city historians, wishing to tell the story of NYC's secret spots ...One for the Road: Curious Shopper's Guide to NYC
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:45AM: The Little Bookworm is a small New York travel publisher that produces a variety of niche culture and art titles, including walking tours and literary guides to great cities around the world. Shopping guides are another specialty, packaged and designed in such a way that they are stylish, yet functional for on-the-go shoppers. Last year Pamela Keech penned The Curious Shopper's Guide to New York ...One for the Road: Pauline Frommer's NYC
May 1st, 2007 at 2:41PM: Adrienne first mentioned Pauline Frommer's travel books last August, when the new series had just hit the shelves. And as you can see from the comments, Pauline stopped by to add some personal perspective on her decision to jump into the book biz directly, following in the footsteps of her famous dad. Both father and daughter are can claim celebrity status these days -- familiar faces that will ...New York: Bowl at the Bus Station
Apr 30th, 2007 at 2:22PM: While it dons an exposed ceiling and unpainted walls, the lanes at Leisure Time Bowl in the Port Authority Bus Terminal are still drawing crowds. Bowlers don't seem to mind the half-finished decor, as long as there's beer, music and automatic scoring machines that add properly. Last Saturday night the place was packed when I arrived with a few friends. Early for our 10 pm reservation, we grabbed ...One for the Road: NYC Lonely Planet Guide
Apr 30th, 2007 at 10:45AM: The I Love NY tourism slogan turns thirty in 2007, so to honor this great state, I'll be highlighting a variety of travel books related to New York all week. Since I currently live in New York State and work in New York City, I've managed to accumulate a rather unique collection of guidebooks. But to kick things off, I'll begin with a basic no-brainer suggestion: Whether your visiting New York for ...
