  From Greenwich Village, home to New York's literary and artistic community over the centuries, to the peaceful, winding paths of massive Central Park, it's all here. Special detailed features and sidebars give comprehensive information on topics ranging from Broadway - the Great White Way - to the revitalization and renaissance of Harlem. In addition, the book features six detailed guided walks into the nooks and crannies of some of the city's most fascinating districts. The book is chock full of the Traveler series' attractive new features, such as Insider Tips from National Geographic and local experts to favorite or little known sites and events, as well as dozens of sidebars highlighting experiences that allow the visitor to truly get inside the local culture, such as learning to produce a Broadway show; working as volunteer staff for the New York Marathon; taking top advantage of the city's many author readings; and the city's best pizza shops (an arduous but enjoyable quest for the truth). A thorough Travelwise section offers recommendations for shopping, hotels, and restaurants in all price ranges and in all areas. Whether you're planning to see the latest Broadway hit, shop along celebrated Fifth Avenue, or retrace your family's heritage at Ellis Island, National Geographic Traveler: New York has everything you need to make your trip a memorable one.
