EXCELLENT

I reccommend all tourist to NY have this book so not to miss all the great historical sites clearly provided in the book!

Funny, cool and nicely done!

I loved this book. It's really easy to read, nicely researched and great fun. Recommended...

Taste of NYC

True crime fans will be drawn to this savory morsel - a fresh idea told in a convivial and intriguing tone. Hill invites us into locales from headlines in a style that is shameless and easy to read, hinting at the dark world about which we've read but hope to never experience. The book is so chatty that putting it down is like leaving a good friend - you're already planning the return trip.

worth the money even if you never make it to nyc

This isn't for kids or pre-teens, but it certainly is fun for the rest of us. I've never seen a travel guide so raw and funny, yet informative. I'm not sure if I'd even want to go to some of these places, but they're fun to read about nonetheless. This is no literary masterpiece, I mean the guy's a gangster- but it's refreshing prose.this thing is going on my coffeetable for sure!

Excellent guide for something totally different in New York!

The Goodfella's guide to New York is a truly facinating guide to New York's notorious Mob Haunts, unlike any other guide book, but it also gives an excellent real life New Yorkers view of Restaurants, Bar's and tourist attractions to visit.Authors Henry Hill and Bryon Schreckengost, have obviously worked hard on creating a unique and informative tour of the 'real' New York. And with Henry's true life experiences, have delivered an exciting and nostalgic look at the infamous places where the mob hung out (and in some cases still do).I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to get back to NYC to check out some of the recommended eateries and other venues!
