I really enjoy reading the Planet Explorers city guidebooks. Each book gives a brief history lesson and then discusses lot of fascinating places to visit. One of my friends who lives near New York said that Manhattan was purchased for $20 but I'll have to correct them since this book says it was more like $1,000. Reading this book will make you much more knowledgeable than people who even live in New York. I'd be willing to bet that most people living in New York have not been to all the exciting places you will learn about in this book. Some of the facts are amazing like the fact that Central Park has 9,000 benches and 5 million trees and bushes. On your trip to New York you may enjoy seeing a 34 ton meteorite or visiting unique roof gardens. There are also interactive museums, ice rinks and famous bakeries. You might want to see Siberian Tigers or a cherry blossom festival. And who doesn't want to say that they've been to the world's largest store! This book tells you all the coolest places to shop and also directs you to memorable places to eat. Wherever you go there are plenty of restaurants. All I can say in conclusion is that you will love this guide. I've seen New York City in many movies but didn't realize it had so many fun places to visit.~The Rebecca Review
