Access New York City by Richard Saul Wurman
A city of dynamic contrasts, from the sleek granite powerhouses of Wall Street and Midtown to the charming tenements of Brooklyn and the Bronx, from the Bohemian spirit of Greenwich Village to the old-money atmosphere of upper Fifth Avenue, and from the avant-garde art galleries of SoHo to the historic churches of Harlem--New York is home to a diverse array of sights and sounds. Comprehensive, fully updated, and filled with revised maps, sidebars and points of interest, Access New York City guarantees that visitors will wave good-bye to the Statue of Liberty while humming "New York, New York."
