Reviews

[Fede Boccacci]

Una serie de consejos delirantes sobre cómo sobrevivir a situaciones disparatadas en Nueva York. Ahora me quedan las ganas de viajar para poner esta guía en práctica.
Le doy 5 estrellas porque además fue un gran regalo que vino desde allá. Y está firmado por una de mis autoras favoritas.

[Michael Kerjman]

Ain't quite sure, that $50 handed in to a doorman could help to make it into a popular night club next time.
Such ambiguity contributed much scepticism to considering the rest of advices.

[Ilana Waters]

Hysterical. And the tips on how to survive roommates, etc. was just as important as the section on rat bites. ;-)

Bought this on my vacation in New York, read it over there. I guess if you start living there this willc ome in handy, back here in Holland it's pretty use-less but still funny. Worth the 5$.
