Excellent map for NYC
It is a great resource for NYC. I have had all the editions of this map. I even use their recommendations for restaurants. The only minor complaint I have is about the Brooklyn and Queens maps. These are very superficial and cannot be used to get around these burroughs.

Flashmaps - Great for the city!
Flashmaps allows you to do both! This small book can be pulled out quickly and referenced without having to unfold a huge map. Two crucial tips for NYC: have great maps and pack lightly. Multiple maps for subways and buses and shopping aren't needed because everything is contained in this booklet. It can be stashed in a coat pocket or small bag.

I would recommend this to anyone visiting for the first time or 100th time!.

An excellent guide for navigating Manhattan
I first bought a Fodor's Flashmaps book several years ago to assist me in finding my way around Manhattan. So far I've owned 3 versions of the Fodor's Flashmaps and I've never been disappointed. The maps are easy to read and arranged by several categories (such as Restaurants/Midtown, Restaurants/Upper West Side, /The Village, and so on), so you can easily find hotels, restaurants, museums, art galleries, architecture, churches/temples/mosques, consulates, universities, hospitals, libraries, tourist attractions, shopping, and theaters in the area you plan to be, and map your route to get there. It also includes maps and guides on the subway system, buses, driving, parking, rail, and getting to/from the airport, and provides an avenue and street finder for Manhattan.

It also includes maps for Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island with key tourist sites and restaurants listed, but the focus is clearly Manhattan and I've only used the Manhattan sections of the book. It's small enough to fit into a small (not miniature) purse, inside pocket, or daypack.

Recently loaned a copy to a friend, who thought it was great, so I just bought another copy to give to her. Can't recommend it enough.
