    Taschen's New York, edited by Angelika Taschen
    For the true inside scoop on NYC—its beloved neighborhood delis, best-kept-secret shops, boutique hotels—check out the ultra-hip new guidebook Taschen's New York. Given that Taschen has a fair claim to being the world's coolest publisher, it shares a natural affinity with the world's coolest city, which comes through in a carefully curated selection of highlights from Spanish Harlem to Williamsburg. Included are an array of tips, such as getting a good table at the celeb-infested Waverly Inn and seeking out SoHo's hidden basement bar subMercer—not exactly the usual tourist traps. Dictionary-style cutout tabs make the guide easy to navigate, and a pocket-size map lists all the shops, hotels and restaurants in the book.
