Another TA user gave me this online site the other day, it%26#39;s an excellent site and you can print off maps etc if you want before you go. www.newyorkled.com. Hope this helps

thanks for that carolann..this is ideal!..cheers




j.k.r - get yrslef a %26#39;popup%26#39; map - little grey hard backed pop up map (they do them of every city can get them at airport or ebay for cheaper-they have a pen and a compass on the spine not that you will use it!) Im about to go to NYC for the sixth time this xmas but I STILL take mine with me, its got all the sightseeing places marked on as well as a mini subway map on other side. Plus its only small and discreet so you don%26#39;t look a complete idiot tourist when you get on the subway/stand on a street corner decideing where you are. particularly good if you find yourself in a dodgy area at a bad time of night and need an escape route lol ; - )




I like my Streetwise maps - they are laminated and show just about everything. You can get an All-Manhattan one which I woudn%26#39;t recommend because everything will be really tiny, or separate ones of different sections.




yes, Newyorkled is great!





I also recommend Not For Tourists. Sign up on the website and you can print all their maps for free. (I bet you%26#39;ll end up buying the book.)

Many others here also like Manhattan Block By Block. I am tempted to say it is almost as good as NFT. ;o)

I took the New York Mapguide published by Penguin with me to NYC this year. It was fantastic. It%26#39;s a small thin book, like an A-Z. I bought mine in Waterstones, but here%26#39;s a link to buying it online

Chris---those of us who went to the Cloisters recently all bought a copy of that book, including NYCgirl. It%26#39;s really handy and was great when we went for our walk in Brooklyn too.




Since your in the UK, Waterstones has a Pop Up Map (that someone else has already mentioned) its 拢3.99 and it folds out and has all the attractions marked on it. Im not sure if it has bars and restaurants on it though. But its a really good little map to plan your days with because you can see where each attraction is. Im going to buy one for my trip.
