Summary: don't leave home without it
Review: I bought this guide when I first moved to NYC 7 years ago. I carried it with me every day as I got to know my way around. I could be adventurous when I was armed with my "steetwise" map because I could walk wherever I wanted and I'd use the map to find the closest subway no matter where I wound up. I continued to carry it with me in my bag every day as long as I lived in New York because you never know when someone will invite you to some new place after work and you need to plan your course for the evening. This guide helps you move around like you're a native and its so small and light there's no reason not to have it with you always. Note: the first one I bought had a couple errors in the subway stops near Central Park on the B and D trains, but I bought another one a year later and found no errors on it. (Now that I've moved out of New York, I even feel nostalgic when I see my old "streetwise manhattan". It served me well.)

Summary: A Ripoff
Review: I bought this map before taking a trip to NYC. I was daunted by the thought of navigating around Manhattan, but this map made the whole place seem smaller and much easier to figure out. It was THE most valuable thing I brought with me on my Manhattan vacation! I really like how you can get an overall feel of the size, shape, and layout of Manhattan, and see how all the neighborhoods fit together. I will be moving to NYC and am currently searching for an apartment in Manhattan, and I could not survive the apartment search without this map. It has been SO helpful. If you're thinking of taking a trip to Manhattan, do not leave home without this map.

Summary: My favorite Map
Review: I discovered Streewise Manhattan in a New York City bookstore years ago. I acquired a copy, and it quickly became my favorite map of all. Its format and sturdiness made it easy to carry with me without the map breaking down, and it was so easy to read, and to locate everything I wanted. I used it for years, and then - sadly - lost it. I returned to New York and checked various bookstores there, and no one carried copies of it anymore, so I was thrilled to discover it on Amazon, and promptly ordered a new copy. After getting used to the Streetwise maps all others seem like pale imitations.

Summary: Excellent basic map
Review: I have seen many tourists and visitors carry this map around with them in NY. It really does one thing really well, provide you with a barebones map of New York without going into excessive detail that may increase the time it takes to look something up. Streetwise features a clean layout, and a highly readable typeface. Subway stations and landmarks are colorfully pinpointed on the map, and are not crowded together. The physical quality of the map is excellent. It is laminated on heavy card stock, and folds up neatly when not in use.

Summary: A must have for the New York City traveler
Review: I just returned from my very first visit to the big apple and carried this map every step of the way. This pocket map is laminated and very light to carry in a shirt pocket or back pocket of your jeans. It has a detailed street guide as well as complete subway stops and usage. Don't leave home without this gem! It never let me down!

Summary: Great Map But Fine Print A Little Too Fine
Review: I liked the fact that this map covered Manhattan in its entirety, but found the printing on the map a bit too tiny, and you had to turn it over to see the continuation of the island. Other than that, it is a good basic map and handy fold up size. Also quite sturdy.

Summary: Sticking With The Best!
Review: I live in upstate New York. I have the luxory of being able to visit NYC 2-3 times per year. I recently borrowed "Streetwise Manhattan" from a friend of mine for a visit to Ground Zero in late March. I was hooked. I can't tell you how comfortable I felt walking around knowing that I could refer to this easy to read, compact & durable map at any time. Easy to follow - clear depiction of any street, most landmarks as well as transportation lines. I liked it so much I just ordered the Streetwise for Washington D.C. for my trip this summer. You can be sure I'll have a Streetwise map for any major city I visit.
