Synopsis

Informed by on-the-ground research, Herb Lester's handy, folded guides uncover what makes a city special - its most distinctive shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, museums and galleries, whether unmissable old favourites, exciting new arrivals or overlooked treasures. Each entry comes with its own brief description, and a basic map helps the reader get their bearings and make plans.

Brooklyn is home to some of the New York's tastiest food and most interesting shops, it has wonderful old family-run businesses and exciting new enterprises, but its geographical vastness can make it daunting to visitors. This guide offers 41 reasons to visit, including Bamonte's, a family-run, fourth generation Italian restaurant; the Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop; The City Reliquary, an idiosyncratic museum of New York; the thrills and spills of Coney Island; and pelmeni in Brighton Beach. And that's just five of them.

Printed on a single sheet of 100% recycled paper, these light, portable guides are an ideal travelling companion.
