Keen to explore a different side of New York City? Like a Local is the book for you.

This isn’t your ordinary travel guide. You won’t find the Met or the Statue of Liberty in these pages, because that’s not where New Yorker’s hang out. Instead, you’ll meet the locals at off-broadway theatres putting on quirky productions, old Ukrainian diners serving up family recipes, and speakeasies hosting secret parties – and that’s where this book takes you.

Turn the pages to discover:

– The small businesses and community strongholds that add character to this vibrant city, recommended by true locals.
– 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as flea markets and movie theatres.
– A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore New York City.
– Helpful ‘what3word’ addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights.

Compiled by proud locals, this stylish travel guide is packed with New York’s best experiences and hidden spots, handily categorised to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you’re a restless New Yorker on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won’t find in traditional guidebooks, New York City Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.
