by Julie Schwietert Collazo, Linda Franklin (Editor), Holly Tri (Editor)

This book is dedicated to the proposition that living in New York City is something extraordinary and wonderful. However, the transition from newcomer to New Yorker isn t necessarily achieved without some discomfort. To minimize the difficulties involved in moving to the Big Apple, we have written the Newcomer s Handbook® for Moving to and Living in New York City, which has been continually updated since its 1980 inception, in order to keep up with change in this fastest-paced of cities. These pages will help you navigate this magnificent city and set you on the path to becoming a New Yorker yourself.
Whether you are looking for the right neighborhood, the right health club, the right synagogue, or simply a quiet, green oasis, these chapters will guide you in your search.
