[Francesca]

This guide offers a good description of a location where many great movies were shot. From animation films (Madagascar) to classics (Breakfast at Tiffany's, Tootsie, The Godfather), the chosen locations are presented by NY neighborhoods and includes famous monuments such as The Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge as well as lesser-known places including restaurants, pubs, museums and monuments. Plenty to please everyone. Don't forget to bring it along when going on a NY City trip.

Interessante para um cinéfilo planejando uma viagem á Nova York. Fora isso, o o livro é raso e pessoalmente, preferiria que tivesse sido um guia online.
