NFT
Not For Tourists guide to NYC.
This little pocket size book is a must before visiting or moving to NYC. This resource book is updated every year and is broken into boroughs and neighborhoods. It includes fold-up subway and bus maps that are more inconspicuous than the large maps available in the subway stations. Each page is marked with coffehouses, restaurants, shopping, bagel shops, schools, banks, ATMs and lots of other helpful hints. Before we moved to Brooklyn, my friend Sarah, bought me the NFT for Brooklyn. I memorized the neighborhoods and got the "lay of the land" before I showed up. When I was on craigslist.org looking at apartments, I recognized the neighborhoods and eliminated a lot of posts without even having to click on them, thus saving a lot of time.
You can purchase a hard copy at Barnes and Noble or if you have an iphone, you can purchase the app for only $2.99! The NFTBrooklyn and NFTQueens are not available as an app but can be purchased through Barnes and Noble.
