Product Description
There are dozens of published guides to New York City, nearly all of them covering the same well-trodden territory of pricey restaurants, major hotels, and shopping at pick-your-pocket prices. Here's a tourist guide with a difference. New York insider and Village Voice columnist Robert Sietsema has assembled a topic-focused book: Secret Metrocard explains how to get the most bang for the buck from this new transit card. Explained are how to turn a free transfer into a free round trip and how to exploit the 18-minute secret grace period.
Secret American Indians divulges where to find a hidden Indian cave right on the island of Manhattan.
Secret Cheap Eats reveals where to get a delicious, multi-course meal for less than five dollars.
Also revealed are how to plug in to the Japanese underground, where to find the best bagel and egg cream, where to find the rock clubs that the hipsters frequent, and where to rent a bicycle to tour the city and where to ride it. Secret New York includes the inside information that natives use to get by in this challenging metropolis.
