NYC Travel Guide - City Notes - New York Shopping, Restaurants, Coffee, Design

Introducing City Notes, a new kind of travel guide. Instead of listing hundreds of obvious places to visit in each city, weve picked a handful of the best ones that are actually worth your time.

In this New York City guide, weve picked 20 great places, highlighting amazing restaurants, cool coffee shops and boutiques, interesting neighborhoods, and a few places to zone out.

Each place includes a short description, photos, neighborhood context, transit information, and a map that can help you get there. You can also share a "postcard" of each place with your friends via Twitter, Facebook, or e-mail. Help us make better guides by rating places with a simple and anonymous thumbs-up/down review.

Our goal is to help you travel better, with a simple, up-to-date list of the best places to go in each city. Whether youre visiting a city for a day, a week, or even if you live there, we hope you have a better time with City Notes.
