Having lived in NYC two times over four decades, turns out I still had a lot to learn. I bought this book for my 8 yr. old granddaughter to prepare for a trip and she has had a ball reading random entries. We also discovered new places to go! If you like "fun facts," buy this book!

Love this book. We bought it last year to prepare for a NYC trip with the kids. The content is amazing and overall we loved the book. HOWEVER it broke. The spine of the book broke within a days use. I ordered a second book - it too also broke! Will not order a third book.

I got this as preparation for a family trip back to New York and our kids loved it!

It got them enthusiastic for the trip and throughout our trips to Manhattan they quoted it and quizzed each other. The 'facts' are mostly trivia and oddball bits of information but it goes some way towards introducing the crazy and rich place New York is.

My 6 year old and I read it cover to cover on our way to NYC, and there was lots of cool stuff in the book that we ended up doing in real life, thanks to the book.
