About this book

The Rough Guide to New York City is the ultimate insider's guide to America's most exciting city. Whether you're here for world-class art at the Met, a blowout shop at Macy's or a ball game at Yankee Stadium, The Rough Guide to New York City is the perfect companion to a weekend city break or a longer stay. Inspirational photography, neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood accounts and detailed, full-colour maps help make sure you can find that backstreet Harlem jazz club or classic deli in Midtown.

Updated by New Yorkers, Rough Guides give the lowdown on everything from the newly completed High Line and the renaissance of Brooklyn to the emerging food scene in Queens. Handy top 5 boxes give you quick round-ups of the best pizzerias, rooftop bars and more, while detailed background covers the rise and fall of Wall Street, 9/11 and New York's music heritage.
