Taschen's New York. 2nd Edition

By Taschen

In a city that soars as high in the imagination as it does in its skyscrapers of steel and glass, a visitor can easily feel too dazzled to know where to begin. This updated edition of TASCHEN's New York guide does the reconnaissance for you, scouring uptown and downtown to bring you the most secret, stylish and exciting venues in the city that never sleeps. Behind velvet ropes, entering unmarked restaurants and scouring SoHo, Nolita and Tribeca stores, this is an all-access pass to parts of New York even most locals don't know. Find the way to Acme, the hub of Neo-Nordic cuisine that's got the whole city talking. Check where to buy New York's best cheesecake; and find the Greenwich Letterpress, where you get your own cards hand-printed. With dictionary-style cutout tabs for easy navigtation and a companion pocket-sized map, New York is yours for the taking.

Customer Reviews

Taschen's New York

This is a great book. The pictures are beautiful. There are so many hotels and restaurants and stores that I didn't know exist in New York until I purchased this book. Being a New Yorker who now resides in Florida I truly recommend this book.

Great place!

This book is a great way to enjoy the greatest place on earth: New york City. Just stroll around and shop, sit down in a hotel lobby or try some great places to eat out! And the best thing is: you don't need to spend a single dollar. Just sit down and relax and enjoy the city where everything is possible.

great house warming gift or Xmas gift for the traveler

This, along with all other books written by Angelika Taschen, is worth to buy for yourself to put on your coffeetable or to gift to someone. The photography is amazing. The price is great too as I've seen it retailed for $45 in some clothing stores and home furnishing stores. This book will entertain the fashionista since it details the shops of NYC, the foodie, as it lists the many restaurants of NYC, the traveler because it has an overview of the hotels in NYC and a city map, and anyone who enjoys beautiful photography. Fun and beautiful book. Check out Angelika's other books too, I have most of them and they are all worth the price.
