Rate this book
National Geographic Traveler: New York, 3rd Edition showcases the Big Apple in all its varied vibrancy, from the Guggenheim Museum and the splashy new Time-Warner Center uptown to trendy, iron-wrought SoHo downtown, from fashionable Brooklyn Heights to Washington Square Park and the Museum of Modern Art. Every corner of this fascinating metropolis is here, including the East Village, Chelsea, the Upper West Side, revitalized Harlem, the winding paths of Central Park, and the outlying boroughs.

„Смята се, че между 1880 и 1919 г. в Щатите са дошли 23 милиона европейци, от които 17 милиона са минали през Ню Йорк. Повечето се установяват в града.“

„Близо 100 милиона американци имат предци, които са минали през остров Елис. […] През 1907 г., най-активната, през остров Елис преминават 1 004 756 имигранти. 75 на сто от тях са от Италия, Русия и Австро-Унгария, а останалите – от Северна Европа и държави от цял свят.“

„В средата на XIX век Джордж Темпълтън Стронг отбелязва в дневника си, че в Ню Йорк може да се ходи на концерт почти всяка вечер през годината. Ако живееше днес, той можеше да посещава на вечер по няколко концерта.“

„Как да се държите в метрото…:
2) Не очаквайте да се усамотите. И да сте седнали, и да стоите прави, съседът ви ще се е притиснал до вас така, сякаш сте го избрали да ви придружава на абитуриентския бал. Но вие не си позволявайте волности.“

„Във филмите на Уди Алън, където действието се развива в Ню Йорк, нервното напрежение на героите се покачва, ако им се наложи да напуснат Манхатън.“

Highly recommend this book for anyone travelling to NYC. It gives a lot of great info on not only the well known attractions, but also little known places that gave great ideas for my trip. This was my go-to book for my trip, way better than other guides that I viewed.

Haven't read everything yet, but even by just flipping through the pages this book takes you away for a few hours to New York! Has great tipps and pics in it - I feel like I'm ready for my journey to the Big Apple which hopefully will take place sooner than later :)
Till then this book makes it possible to imagine this exciting city!! Thanks;)

This book has a lot more white space than most guidebooks, which makes it pleasing to the eye. I like that it clearly shows the price of museums and what day of the week they are closed, info I missed in other books, although it is sometimes listed in them.

This was a very helpful book as a reference for my first trip to NY. It helped me feel like I knew what I was getting into and it's full of nice pictures.
