Summary: Making Sense of the Chaos
Review: Finding anything, from the perfect bagel to the best socks, in NYC can be daunting, because there are always so many choices. Waage and Applestone help attenuate this difficulty by doing the hard work of culling through the thousands of offerings for alternative spiritual activites in NYC. The breadth of their analysis is striking, as is their insight into the range of activities and facilities available throughout New York. My friends from Europe were particularly happy to find a guide that was as thorough, clever and fun to read as this one.

Summary: Good for non-new yorkers
Review: I don't even live in NY and I LOVE this book--it is so much more than a guidebook, it has so much information about various religions and cultures, with even some history thrown in--a great primer for those interested in learning about the range of religions and spiritual pursuits that are out there.

Summary: this book is amazing!
Review: I highly recommend the Spiritual Guide to New York. It is so interesting to read about all the incredible places NYC has to offer. I not only have a copy for myself, but have also given it as a gift to many friends who all agree that it's wonderful!!

Summary: Great for those visiting New York
Review: I used to know everything about everything in New York. When I lived there. Now that I go back on extended visits, this book has helped to keep me in the know and introduced me to places, not just in the city, but when I go to the Hamptons on the weekend and need a good Yoga class. The reviews are written in a way I can relate to -- I feel like I can take the authors' word for it. Even if you're only going to spend a week in NY and don't want to miss out on your yoga class (or your wicca circle), this is a great resource.

Summary: Awesome resource
Review: I'm not much of a freaky religous person, so this book was perfect for me. I enjoyed it as an opportunity to learn more about the very diverse and numerous ways in which people seek out and find their spiritual needs. If finding a place in NY that fits your personal needs is your goal, this book is definitely for you. If having an open mind and understanding the way others fulfill their inner-self, this is also a good read. Could have had more pictures, but I guess it helps to leave it up to your mind as to how to interpret the zillion locales in NY.
