E-Book Overview

Listed amongst hotels to stay at Four Seasons or Waldorf Astoria. Then of course, there is the NY YMCA - hardly irreverent. Well they do list the Chelsea Hotel - but how 60s is that! Restaurants, well there's Nobu and Next Door Nobu, The Pink Teacup, a group of Italian Restaurants all owned by Mario Batali - Po, Babbo and Lupa and I quote from the book "the only thing more remarkable than the cuisine and impeccable service is how hard it is to get a reservation"! I then wanted to take a trip around Harlem. If you research on the internet there are a couple of very cool and different tours, but in this book - Harlem Spirituals or Harlem Your Way...are the suggestions - what could be more reverent! Take shopping.... well Macy,s, Tiffany's, H and M, Bloomingdales and Saks get good reviews and of course there is the 'Low Down for Style wise guys' - sheesh! and for kids (To Buy your Kids Love...)FAO schwarz, Toys R Us, the Disney Store and the Scholastic Store are the only ones mentioned. I know a store were you can buid a doll from scratch, or a bear, and take your home made baby home for a few dollars! Now, I can tell you some great hotels to stay in in town at a reasonable price and just brimming with help and comfort. I can suggest some great clubs for nightlife, fabulous restaurants at out of city prices and tours to blow your mind and I found them all on the internet. This book is a complete and utter waste of money, not to mention a great big phoney!
