 Rating:  - fun but not comprehensiveOur family recently returned from a visit to Manhattan. We used 5 or 6 texts as well as this boxed set of walking tours.

Take card 15 - the Ms. Fay touches the high spots: Abingdon Square, Ottomanelli's, Zito's, Murry's Cheese, Rocco's Pastry and more. Walk these streets led by her map and prose and you'll have a wonderful visit. Flipping through the cards, I think every significant neighborhood has ... Read More
