Editorial Review:

What are 1001 things you should treat yourself and your guests to in New York City? Be serenaded by Cole Porter's piano at the Waldorf, or hear Woody Allen play clarinet at the Carlyle. Drink champagne on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum, or discover the abandoned subway station at City Hall. Eat at America's very first pizzeria, or enjoy the most expensive cocktail in the country at the World Bar. Ride the Staten Island Ferry, or ride a bike through Central Park. Go surfing out at Rockaway Beach, or relax in a Russian bath in the East Village . . . . Organized by theme—including Eating and Drinking, 24-hour New York, Shopping and Spending, Arts and Culture, Views and Sites, the Great Outdoors, and Classic New York—and packed with detailed, helpful indexes organized by neighborhood and by category, this is simply the most fun and comprehensive guidebook to New York City ever. New York Unlimited crosses genres and boroughs to explore every aspect of the most diverse and exciting city in the world. Written from experience by two people who love the city, and featuring priceless tips from expert contributors—from authors on their favorite bookstores to architects on the city's best buildings—New York Unlimited is much more than just a guide.

1001 suggestions but didn't use many of them on a 4 day visit

I tried to read this book, jumping around to this and that, but since this was a first family trip with kids many were not applicable, and others were just a bit too quirky or didn't grab me. The writing was great - very descriptive and evocative - and it gave me a great flavor of NYC before the trip so 3 stars for that. I really want to see the unicorn tapestry next visit though.

This book is fabulous. It is well written and has things I never knew existed. The range of prices is good, there are new things I want to try. The verbiage gives an excellent description of what the venue is about. The range of things to do must cover every taste, so it will appeal to all.The Best Things to Do in New York City: 1001 Ideas

GREAT!

I loved the ideas in this book! I took some of the ideas and had a great time...you'd have to spend a month non stop to do it all!! I'd recommend this book for anyone who's looking for the New York classics old and new along with things way off the beaten path!

The Best NYC travel companion

I spent a week and a half in NYC last Thanksgiving visiting my sister. Since a lot of my exploring was on my own while she worked, this was a great way to plan out my days. I went through prior to my trip and flagged all of the things I wanted to see and do while I was there and by the end of my trip I had almost all of them checked off my tourist list. The only thing that would have been nice would be to make the book a pocket/tote size for carrying around more easily. I carried it with me the entire trip. The best part, was seeing that my sister (a New Yorker for over a year now) has a copy as well!
