New York: The Monocle Travel Guide Reviews

  More or less a collection of hotels, restaurants and shops that have appeared in monocle magazine before. I never know exactly who the monocle audience is - but you can expect things to be more expensive than usual and bias towards European taste. There’s no recommendation to see a knicks game or walk around Coney Island.
  
  Bad if you are on a budget or want to explore lesser known, more authentic places. There’s always a risk with a guide like this that if you follow it too closely you will miss genuinely really interesting things. So cherry pick a few things from each section and you’ve got a good start.
  
  I was able to find a few bars, restaurants, bakeries, shops that I’d never heard of and I thought the ‘walks’ section is a fun, helpful addition. I like this guide because it assumes you know what you are doing and doesn’t waste time with the absolute basics. Like all guides bound to go out of date in a few years time. Quite a few typos and basic mistakes in the print too.

  Purposefully non touristy but good guide to the Big Apple. Ideal if you’ve been to NYC before but first timers should probably pick a different book as it assumes a level of knowledge.

  Excelente recopilación de sitios en la línea editorial de la marca.

  Nice alternative travel guide which aims to stray away from touristic sites and ensure an experience like a local person. The hotel choices are a bit on the high end, but good selection of eateries, cultural activities, and a section on recommended walks in different districts.
