In too many cases new editions of guidebooks turn out to be little more than a rehash of the same old things. This is not true for Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York! Since the prior edition, I have continued to explore every nook and cranny of this evolving city to ferret out its best restaurants, stores, services, and attractions. We have checked and rechecked the facts about every place we highlight, and I have added many new entries and strategies on, well, where to find it, buy it, and eat it, in order to keep you — our loyal and frequent readers — absolutely up-to-date.
