Customer Reviews

A great resource for young tourists and denizens alike

If you're not so much interested in how to beat the lines at the Statue of Liberty, and more attuned to where you can sip Long Island Ice Teas while staring at bona fide fashion models and New York's notoriously secretive cognoscenti, this book is for you. Much more than a guide to the city's geography, it is a rare insight into the raison d'etre of the au courant. Forget Fodor's, Let's Go, and all the broad-spectrum filth. Finally, there is a book for the people who need it. Anyone can see the Statue of Liberty from miles away. Citytripping goes below the surface.

The definitive hipster's guide to NYC!

I carry this book everywhere I go. Throw a copy in your backpack and you have the ultimate NYC resource at your fingertips.Citytripping not only provides useful information on restaurants, shopping and nightlife, but Tom Dolby manages to present it all in a concise yet insightful manner. If you aren't already convinced that NYC is the greatest city in the world, this book just may make you change your mind.

Incredibly useful, fun-to-read, smart take on the NYC scene

I have lived in New York City for nearly 2 years now, and can honestly say that this book has been an incredibly useful resource to me. Because I consider myself a New Yorker, I usually regard NYC travel guides as books for tourists. Citytripping is a clear exception. I noticed a copy of the book while shopping in the Village. I ended up flipping through it for almost 20 minutes in the store before I decided that I had to buy it. This book had full, perfect reviews of all (literally ALL) my favorite restaraunts, clubs, and bars -- plus so many more that I hadn't ever been to. Since I bought it a month ago, I've gone to many of the listed night-spots and shops and can honestly say that the author obviously knows New York! It is like a key to unlocking the downtown scene. Examples: I was meeting a friend in Chelsea two days ago and suggested a restaurant based soley on the Citytripping review, and we had an excellent meal and a great time. A few weeks ago I had some friends visit from North Carolina and they wanted to go "star-gazing". Not really my scene, but thanks to a section in Citytripping we found 2 bars frequented by Hollywood elite and saw more than a few stars in our midst. Without hesitation I would recommend this book to anyone new to the City. Also, from personal experience I can say that this book is even great for poeple who've been here for years. Citytripping is a unique concept, and I am very happy that I bought my copy!

A Guide to New York City with Pizzaz

Truly a superb book, it certainly has everything you need to know about New York City and more. I really like how it is organised. I used it as a handy reference while I was in New York the past two times and I found it to be very helpful. Cheers, J. Michael Walters
