New York City by Bus and Subway Review
One of the best-kept secrets in New York is that MTA New York City Transit buses and subways are the best and cheapest way for visitors to see the City. New York City by Bus and Subway (an officially licensed MTA publication) will show visitors how to utilize public transportation for sightseeing and will provide fascinating, interesting and unusual tours with commentary about the sights, neighborhoods and attractions along the way. New York City by Bus and Subway is the key that will open the door for visitors to venture beyond the beaten tourists paths, getting them out on their own to discover the real New York – the neighborhoods, the people, the culture, the history and the ethnic diversity of the five boroughs. This volume presents a unique collection of easy to follow self-guided bus rides and walking tours based on the use of public transportation. Commentary for this guide is provided by a Who s Who of distinguished New York City authors, historians and tour guides who share their love and knowledge of New York with you.
I am a native New Yorker, a Brooklyn girl actually. Living in the outskirts of the greatest city in the world afforded me the opportunity to make frequent trips to “the City” as a young woman. Now a resident of Stamford, CT, I never tire of the City; I mean who in their right mind would? After shopping, I often wander around just taking in the sights and sometimes discovering a secret that history has held on to – perhaps some treasured building I had never seen. Mr. Kennedy’s book, New York City by Bus and Subway, is like a red velvet gift box tied with a luxurious silk ribbon which when opened reveals an elegant surprise. And the surprise is the ability to experience New York City in a way you never have before -like having a personal tour guide with you as you navigate through the subway tunnels or happily bounce along above ground on a city bus. This is a wonderful book to keep for yourself, so when you’re bored and think you’ve seen everything there is to see in Manhattan, you might opt for a self-guided tour. And, even better, it would serve as the perfect gift for a friend who may not have been as fortunate as you to have grown up in the City but always dreamed they had. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it!

New York City by Bus and Subway – Suzanne M. Simon –
As an overseas visitor to New York, I found this book fantastic for sightseeing. Armed with the book and a 7-day travel pass I found it one of the most informative and easy-to-follow guides I have used. I shall continue to use it next time I am fortunate enough to return to NYC, and of course I recommend it to all other prospective visitors to that great city.
