Great Guide

An easy-to-read (as in, you can actually see the map details without a magnifying glass), easy-to-follow, extremely helpful guide to NYC. I moved to Queens from Manhattan a couple of years ago, and I would have been lost (literally) without it. It also helped me navigate my way through Brooklyn as I searched for apartments there -- and it's small enough to fit easily in a purse or backpack. As a former long-time Manhattanite, I find this book invaluable for finding my way around those other mysterious boroughs. Anyone who can't follow it doesn't know how to read a map...

WONDERFUL! This book of maps makes all of NYC yours!

I've now been using this extraordinary book for more than a year, and it's been an amazing gift! I've explored NY from end to end--from City Island, the Bronx, to Tottenville, Staten Island, and all around Brooklyn and Queens (besides my home borough of Manhattan). The maps are aesthetically beautiful, wonderfully accurate, so easy to read, and full of useful info--post offices, subway stops, and more. In this walker's town, having the right map expands your horizons in every way. If you love the city and dream of seeing it in all its glory, this is your true companion. It belongs in the pocket or backpack of every New York resident, visitor, and fan. It's also a spectacularly appreciated gift!

The best book of maps for New York City

This is the best book of maps of NYC (just like the title says). It has very easy to read maps of all five boros and it also has landmarks of buildings in the city from the Crysler Building to the obscure like the Kurdish Library Museum in Brooklyn or the New York State Armory in Staten Island. The only thing I mind about this book is that is has almost no maps (it has one map of the area, but it is as undetailed as you can get) of the metro area, but this is not a big fault.

The @tlas to NYC... a sophisticated resource.. NY TIMES

sets a new standard in how to look and use the Big Apple. Divides the city into two perspectives: HOW TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE: 340 pages of clear, beaufifully design and concise maps. Top 100 index to nightlife, shopping, dining, entertainment, nature, government, business etc. HOW WE GOT HERE FROM THEREE: 10 haiku-histories map the contributions New Yorkers have made to global popular culture in the 20 Century. Cool graphics and politics. Without doubt, NY@tlas is what New Yorkers use.
