New York Precincts A Curated Guide to the City's Best Shops, Eateries, Bars and Other Hangouts

When travelers dreamed of New York City they pictured the island of Manhattan, with its Art Deco skyscrapers, grand museums and cinematic streetscapes. And while "the Island" remains the beating heart of high culture and the birthplace of 1960s bohemia, the spirit of New York has spilled over into its neighboring precincts, fostering exciting new music, food, and arts scenes all over the city.

The latest in the hugely popular "off-the-beaten-track" Precincts travel range, New York Precincts shares the many hidden treasures that can only be found with the help of local knowledge. NYC-obsessed author Pip Cummings offers an insider's curation of the very best cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences that the city has to offer-sharing her own insights as well as the insider knowledge of a select group of locals.

Pip Cummings is a US born author and journalist and has been writing for over 20 years.
