Where to find all of New York's things of beauty and elegance--an essential resource for architects, designers, and consumers. This entirely new source guide for the city of New York follows hard upon the heels of Tout Paris, a highly successful work by the same authors. As with Tout Paris, All New York is a guidebook for exploration and discovery of the things dreams are made of, the "stuff" we would wish for in our homes--on our floors, our walls, our beds and baths, our kitchens and gardens. A treasure hunter's guide, All New York presents the best craftsmen who create masterpieces and also repair and restore them. It is all here: where to buy antiques and art, frames and fabrics, porcelain and silver, linen and home furnishings, icons, maps, books, glass, leather, mosaics, marble, parquet, stained glass, and more. Apart from the dealers, this book also lists the manufacturers, the great design centers, and the city's famous flea markets. All New York is a book for all those who enjoy antiquing and decorating and love to explore New York's great pleasures.

If you've come to New York for the bright lights of Broadway, you don't need your life complicated by Empire State Building statistics and museum particulars. New York is overwhelming enough even with a specific focus. Sharon Watson's guide for theater enthusiasts performs the great service of providing information on the neighborhoods, accommodations, and restaurants a theatergoer might be interested in, as well as information on the theaters themselves, while protecting you from stimulus overload. From Chinatown to Harlem to Staten Island, half-price tickets to coupon discounts to getting into sold-out shows, there's everything you might want for a drama holiday, but none of the fluff that can give a traveler a bad New York headache.

Covers a popular European or North American destination and contains coupons that enable visitors to obtain big discounts at the top attractions and museums in each city. These discounts - usually 50% or 2-for-1 deals - ensure that each book can pay for itself in one day. A fold-out map, which includes a vicinity map and a detailed street index and links to the 100 pinpoint maps in each guide, makes getting around easy.

As you begin to plan your summer vacations for 1999, take out your copy of this book, read my suggestions, get a great state map, buy your road trip supplies (or airline supplies) and let the kids have a say in where they'd like to go. New York State has so much to offer kids, and although NYC is the top destination of choice, our state has SO much more to see. Dig for gems, visit small, intimate art museums in grand homes, see humongous waterfalls, visit underground caves. So come on! Grab your copy and have fun!

The authors (a mom and 11-year old son) dined at more than 500 restaurants in their search for family-friendly alternatives to fast food and pizza joints. Happily, they found that NYC is filled with fun and chic restaurants that kids can enjoy AND where the food is sophisticated enough for adults. Along with listings of more than 300 establishments, the book includes strategies for surviving the theme restaurants that kids love and parents loathe; those offering diversions for the young and the restless; nearby alternatives to the cafeterias at major museums and tourist attractions. Restaurants organized by neighborhoods and rated by cost, cuisine, friendliness; categories include For Six and Unders, With Grandparents, Ethnic, and more. "This book is intelligently written and filled with useful strategies: is milk available? Are strollers allowed? It tells which restaurants are near museums and there are listings of the best restaurants for children of different ages."–The New York Times

Lonely Planet provides full-service guides in a candid, compact style, and that's what David Ellis's Lonely Planet New York City guide delivers, attending diligently to every topic any New York visitor might possibly need or desire. For the New York novice, there are all the elementary details, such as tourist offices, embassies, money, post offices, electricity, laundry, where to get maps, and primary radio frequencies. Resources are listed for gay and lesbian travelers, as well as for women, seniors, disabled travelers, and families traveling with children. Special events are enumerated, plus good New York Web sites and where to turn in case of emergencies. And that's just one small section of the book. There are also chapters on New York history, climate, geography, and politics; practical details on getting there by air, bus, train, car, motorcycle, boat, and hitchhiking; and getting around the city by subway, bus, taxi, car, and bicycle. Then comes the heart of the guide, with comprehensive attention to what there is to see and do in Manhattan's many neighborhoods and outer boroughs; where to stay, eat, and shop; all manner of entertainment, from horse racing and hockey to dance clubs, opera, and bars; as well as an assortment of excursions throughout Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and New Jersey. With an architectural glossary, an extensive index, and an excellent collection of maps, this guide is a thorough New York resource. --Stephanie Gold
