This is New York City This is New York City
Coming to NYC is like
stepping into a movie
containing all imagined possibilities
Loud, fast and pulsing with energy, New York City (popula-tion 8.4 million) is symphonic, exhausting and always evolving. Maybe only a Walt Whitman poem cataloging typical city scenes – from the humblest hole-in-the wall to grand buildings – could begin to do the city justice.
It remains one of the world’s creative and business centers. Fashion, theater, food, music, publishing, advertising and, of course, finance, all thrive here. As Groucho Marx once said, ‘When it’s 9:30 in New York, it’s 1937 in Los Angeles.’ Coming to NYC from anywhere else for the first time is like stepping into a movie; one you’ve probably been unknowingly writing; one that contains all imagined possibilities.
Almost every country in the world has a presence here. From Brooklyn’s Russian enclave in Brighton Beach to the mini South America in Queens; from the middle of Times Square to the most obscure corner of the Bronx, you’ll find extremes.
You can experience a little bit of every-thing. You can decide if you’d like your day to be filled with high culture in an uptown museum and trendy eating in the Village, or – if you like your city to be tougher – you can choose to spend an afternoon wandering through the twisting streets and art galleries of downtown. Just don’t be too shocked if your day of high culture turns gritty when you come across a gifted jazz singer on the subway platform, or if your bohemian day gets fancy when a trendy boutique seduces you and you’re shelling out for the perfect pair of shoes before you know it.
New York City is constantly in the process of reinventing itself. And so too are the successive waves of immigrants who have populated the city and the striving artists who have pinned their hopes and dreams on making it here.

Our StoryOur StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their fi rst travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.
Today, Lonely Planet has offi ces in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.

CRISTIAN BONETTOLower Manhattan & the Financial District, SoHo & Chinatown, Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy, Midtown, Upper Manhattan & the Outer BoroughsPlanet-roaming Cristian has played both visitor and local in New York City, a place he has been obsessed with since his Sesame Street diaper days.

He also tweets at twitter.com/cristianbonetto.
