This city guide offers ideas for staging posts along the paths of New York. On its pages you will find exceptional designed environments and experiences that are idiosyncratic to New York - stylish in unconventional ways. They range from classic 19th-century spit-and-sawdust saloons, Jewish delicatessens and gas-lit chop-houses that have withstood the churn of constant urban renewal, to the sleek lounges, chic cafes, equisitel assembled boutiques and utterly contemporary hotels that are heralded as bastions of cool. If there is a unifying theme to New York's eclecticism, then it is panache: extreme panache. This "StyleCity" volume guides you to the total city experience: where to sleep, eat, drink, shop, retreat, explore, or just hang out in stimulating surroundings. It selects all the special places where locals as well as travellers will find a vibrant urban experience, and is accompanied by concise, informed texts and easy-to-read maps.
