A collaboration of the Discovery Channel and APA Publications, this guide does a good job of introducing the city's diversity and history up to the World Trade Center attack and Mayor Bloomberg's election and then covers places, transportation, accommodations, and activities. Included are a "best of New York" section and an A-Z of practical information and contacts, as well as numerous color photos, maps, and a pull-out pocket restaurant guide. Indexing is conveniently by street as well as by subject. Though not on the cover or title page, this edition is identified on the copyright page as a reprint of the fifth (2005); the first was published in 1991.
