Gerry Frank, the author of one of New York City's premier guidebooks, is currently a proud resident of Salem, the capital of Oregon.

The New York Times

"Big Apple’s best guide rooted in Salem"

"For decades, tourists to the Big Apple have mapped their journey with the help of a fact-packed red paperback. For generations of visitors, "Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York…has been the city’s sightseeing Bible."

"…Frank’s book is a comprehensive and thorough compendium of all things New York."

"What’s free and what’s not? Where is the best shopping? Where can you get your hands on cheap theater tickets?"

"From exhaustive research comes an expansive view of New York and its attractions, enough that even jaded New Yorkers find things they hadn’t known about their own city…"

The Associated Press

"Gerry Frank's classic take, revised & updated

Think of anything you need in NYC and chances are Gerry Frank has a source for it. Fabrics and trimmings, fax machines, floor coverings, flowers, furniture and mattresses; the best of the best and those places not so good. One of the books we constantly refer to as we answer questions from visitors."

"Written by a native Oregonian, Gerry Frank's comprehensive, Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York is filled with the information that residents trade with one another and tourists need to make any short or extended visit a success. Now in its ninth edition, Frank researches each entry. The title says it all and if it's available in the Big Apple, Frank has tracked it down."

CEO Traveller

"I recommend the revised edition of ‘Where To Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York’ by Gerry Frank. First distributed in 1981, it is the oldest complete, independently published guidebook to New York City, and has sold nearly 1,000,000 copies. The guide reviews nearly 300 restaurants, includes an exclusive listing of over 500 places to find the best food items in Manhattan, describes over 50 museums, lists and details dozens of the city’s finest hotels and retail stores, and recommends providers for some 200 available services."

Donald Trump

"I have already put this great reference book in my car! Even as Mayor of this great city, I sometimes find it helpful to turn to a book like yours to navigate all the many restaurants and stores throughout the five boroughs."

Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor, The City of New York
