I bought the "virtual Tokyo" CD first, then I ordered this one. It's pretty cool. Just like being there! I like being able to see all the sights from the comfort and safety of my own home. It's cool to pan up and down and zoom in. Much better than the very amatuer pictures I took when I was there!

Anyway, I would recommend this CD if you're planning to visit the big apple, or just wish you were.

This CD is so cool! It's so much better than a boring travel book with static pictures. You can see 360 degree views of all the top NY destinations - you just have to see it for yourself. I live in NY and still find this CD fascinating. I also bought it for friends in California who have never been to NY and they love it too!

This is a bible to any New York resident and would be a helpful guide to any visitor. I have used Zagat's guides religously since moving to the area and I can not remember an instance when it was inaccurate - which is remarkable considering the subjectivity of opinions. Perfect for scouting out sites for dinner dates and trendy places to visit. I now use their other guides and online website to pick out restaurants during weekend getaways to other cities.

No doubt about it the Zagat Survery to New York City is a must have. Great info on restaurant prices, ambiance, service and location. But no matter how good it is some really nice finds still get left out. As a frequest visitor to the Mid Town area I'm surprised to see local favorites like Le Bonne Soupe (great French Onion) and Connelly's (world's best cheeseburgers) are never mentioned. With all the restaurants in New York, I suppose they can't cover everything, still Zagat has helped me find some real treasures and I'm attempting to help them add a few to their list as a return favor. Pick up a copy before your next trip, it's money well spent. Just bear this in mind--restaurant reviews are all subjective. A restaurant is only good if you like it!

If you like to eat and don't mind spending a few coins for fabulous food, this map will guide you to nirvana over and over again! Great recommendations for every NY neighborhood.

This is a user-friendly, comprehensive and intelligent guide to restaurants in nyc. It is accurate and extremely helpful regardless of your budget.

Rate my own book a "5"? Why not--it's worth it. Anyway, when you fill out these little forms, you have to pick a rating or it won't work. Why should I sell myself short? Anyway... I had a great time writing this "slamming, dirt-eating" mountain bike guide (Laura Jorstad wrote that. I love that girl! She was the best thing that ever happened to Backcountry Guides).

There's a lot of incredible riding in NJ. I guess I'd have to say that some of the flat tracking scenic stuff represents my personal favorites--rides like the Patriot's Path, The Delaware and Raritan Canal rides, etc. I had a really hard time putting together Allaire State Park, because of the profusion of trails and the odd signage. But that's a great ride, too...my advice for Allaire riders is to just forget the book's route directions after you've read the details, and ride. My favorite mountian trails would have to be Huber Woods and neighboring Hartshorne, where you can get an all-day non-headbanger ride on nice dirt treads that were designed for mountain biking. Both of those parks are good rides for groups of varying ability. BUT THE REAL REASON I'm wriing is to enlist your help.

This book is now 4 years old, and there may have been trail changes, policy changes, and sign changes since then. I'd like to invite all of you to comment on those changes if you'd like, in this somewhat easier forum than actually sitting down to write a letter to the editor. If I use your changes, I'll put you in the acknowledgements. It's a way you can make a difference, maybe. And sure, you'll be helping me out. A LOT. And how can I help you? Well, you have the book, don't ya?

Thanks for your contributions to trails advocacy in the state of New Jersey. And say hello to Wally Tunison and Lyle Lange for me. Regards, Peter peterwkick@aol.com

I'm a begginermediate mountain biker and a weekend warrior so take this with the proverbial grain of salt. I have done several trails from the West Central section of this book, and had a 100% sucess rate with it. The the anecdotal decriptions are great, and they are followed by a blow-by-blow guide to the route he describes. Even with the detailed, step-by-step descriptions there are plenty of extras to inspire side trips, exploration, and customization to suite the level of riding experience.

Use common sense. Even though this book is only 3yrs old, markers disappear, signs are removed, trails are altered (sometimes by bulldozers), etc. Realize, these are details the author has no control over even though he has to include them at the time he rode the trail. I know of only a few authors who are considered omniscient (maybe One). As much as I like Mr. Kick's book, I don't think he's one of that number. This guide should always be supplimented with a good topo, and any maps that might be available from the local townships or organizations responsible for the trails described.

HI. I'm the author. In my humble opinion, this is a great book because it was truly a labor of love. I love to ride and I live in the Hudson Valley.

This book is getting on a bit. It was written in 1996 and just had its 3rd printing. The 3rd printing included a super-nice-looking new cover (don't cha think?), which is a huge improvement over the first cover, the one with Croton Dam and no bike. Oh, ok. A TINY little bike.

I have a comment to add about the back flap. Where it says I am also "the author of 25 Mountain bike Tours in the Hudson Valley" (well, obviously), it should say I'm also the author (of same) in the ADIRONDACKS. By the next printing, I hope this book will include the revisions it needs (including THAT one ???).

I also encourage any of you, my faithful (and beloved) readers, to send me any changes or new trail recommendations you might have.

Thanks for your interest in this guidebook. Regards, Peter peterwkick@aol.com

Collaboratively developed and written by Stella Green and Neil Zimmerman, 50 Hikes In The Lower Hudson Valley is a practical and thoroughly enjoyable guide for hikers and nature walkers with an interest in enjoying the very best and most scenic routes in the Lower Hudson Valley area. Maps, trail descriptions, and black-and-white photographs round out this effectively put-together, "user friendly", and very highly recommended reference.

This book is by far the best trail guide I've ever used. (a) The directions to the trailhead are accurate to the tenth of a mile; (b) the directions on the trail are also very accurate; (c) each trail description has its own topo map; (d) the trails feature what the book says they'll feature; (e) the trails are fun!

The trail lengths in the book vary between 1-hour hikes to all-day affairs, with plenty of all types; also, the directions usually suggest other places to go or variations to shorter or lengthen the hike.

If you live in Pittsburgh or the area, buy this book.
