5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally detailed, July 15 2004

This review is from: Streetwise Manhattan (Map)

Lived there - loved it but I could have saved myself hours of wandering around lost with this in my pocket. Picked it up and reminisced about so many great neighborhoods and holes in the walls in Manhattan. It's a deliciously, culturally engaging place to visit but can be dauntingly intimidating if you're unfamiliar with the culture and lay out. Manhattan has it's own cadence and with this in your purse you can keep up and be confident you're headind in the right direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for vising or moving to NYC, May 2 2004

This review is from: Streetwise Manhattan (Map)

I'm in the process of moving to NYC, and as such have been visiting to try to get aquainted with the various neighborhoods, etc. I bought a variety of maps and tourist books to help me get around, and ths Streetwise Manahattan map was BY FAR the most useful (much better than the Lonely Planet New York map...).

I think the thing that makes it stand out more than Lonely Planet was how the subway stops were annotated with the specific subway lines that stop there, allowing you to plan your travel both above and under ground. Lonely Planet's map only indicates that there is a subway station, which is totally useless due to the variety of subway lines in NYC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Live Without It, Aug 8 2003

This review is from: Streetwise Manhattan (Map)

I bought this map before taking a trip to NYC. I was daunted by the thought of navigating around Manhattan, but this map made the whole place seem smaller and much easier to figure out. It was THE most valuable thing I brought with me on my Manhattan vacation! I really like how you can get an overall feel of the size, shape, and layout of Manhattan, and see how all the neighborhoods fit together.

I will be moving to NYC and am currently searching for an apartment in Manhattan, and I could not survive the apartment search without this map. It has been SO helpful. If you're thinking of taking a trip to Manhattan, do not leave home without this map.

I liked the fact that this map covered Manhattan in its entirety, but found the printing on the map a bit too tiny, and you had to turn it over to see the continuation of the... Read more
