i remembered why i love nyc
21. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
i'm a new yorker not living in nyc and received this book as a gift. the opening really got me and made incredibly nostalgic for the city i miss. it's so interesting that when you live in a place you never bother to do the things that this book tells you to do. it's just your city. i'm happy that i received this at a time when i'm not living there, so i can take a moment to remember what it is that is actually so great about it. i'd recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know the city for the first time or again.

A real hidden gem!
30. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
When I received this book as a gift a week ago I was reluctant to even open it, as I've become quite disappointed in the superficial nature of most guide books. This, however, turned out to be anything but that. A captivating collection of well-plotted walks through the city's best neighborhoods, "Secret New York" is also loaded with historical depth rarely found in this genre. Best of all, the prose is very well crafted and reminds one that even a guide book can and should be written by a talented writer.
This book is jam-packed with interesting information about New York. Who would have known that Dutch maidens used to wash clothing on what would become Maiden Lane? I didn't. Or that the Bryant Park hotel is meant to resemble a fiery radiator? News to me. How about the fact that a string quartet performs in the Ralph Lauren flagship store around Christmas time? I'll have to check that out.
Now living in London, I often think back to my days in New York with a sense of nostalgia. This charming book full of great pictures had brought the beloved neighborhoods back to life for me, with rich detail pouring off of every glossy page. My only reservation is that the book does not go into enough detail on the outer boroughs, perhaps due to limited space. Hopefully a second edition with more coverage thereof will soon follow.

Nothing secret about it
6. Juni 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Within the "secret" NYC book, there is a chapter of "secret" places. These include the Brooklyn Bridge and Ellis Island. Also, the book is very focused on Manhattan, and I was hoping to hear about City Island, etc. Obviously, other people love the book, and it probably isn't a bad book, just disappointing if you're looking for "the City's hidden neighborhoods" rather than Grand Central Terminal.
