at last - a guidebook for real folk!

I came upon this book in a bookstore one afternoon and picked it up intending to browse through it there and leave it behind. I bought it! It has loads of ideas for people like me - a Gen Xer who is NOT an investment banker. It is very specific about the places to go in NY that are free or nearly so and that are of interest to somebody like me - bars, restaurants, museums, parks etc etc. I know the city pretty well but this great little book has fresh ideas and is worth owning.
