The American Express Pocket Guide to New York [antikvár]

How to use this book The American Express Pocket Guide to New York is an encyclopedia of travel information, organized in the sections listed on the previous page. There is also a comprehensive Index (pages 207-214), a List of street names (pages 215-216), and full-color Maps of New York and environs at the end of the book. For easy reference, all major sections (Sights and places of interest, Hotels, Restaurants}, and other sections where possible, are arranged alphabetically. For the organization of the book as a whole, see Contents. For individual places that do not have separate entries in Sights and places of interest, see the Index. Abbreviations As a rule, only standard abbreviations are used, such as days of the week and months, points of the compass (n, s', e and w), street names (Ave., PL, Rd., Sq. and St.), St (Saint), rms (rooms), C (century), and measurements. Bold type Bold type is used mainly for emphasis, to draw attention to something of special interest or importance. It also picks out places — shops or minor museums, for example -jj-that do not have full entries of their own. In such cases, it is usually followed in brackets by the address, telephone number, details of opening times, etc., which are printed in italics. Cross-references A special typeface, sans serif italics, is used for cross-references. Each time you see a place name, such as Frick Collection, printed in this way, expect to find a full entry under that heading in the alphabetical Sights and places of interest (pages 57-121). Similarly, when you see the title of a section of the book, such as Hotels or Shopping, printed in this way, you can turn to that section for further information.
