These books are really helpful in helping you find exactly what you need and want. I’ve used the Los Angeles and Las Vegas and New York books and I’ve found stores that I didn’t even know existed. The one slight incy problem would be that there wasn’t quite enough variety (as far as plus size clothes, obscure stores). They give you phone numbers, store hours etc etc and this is really useful when you might be unfamilliar with a city. Love them.

If you love to shop for clothes/shoes and are eager to know which neighborhoods to hit beyond the obvious Canal Street, Century 21, & SOHO (e.g. Nolita, Lower East Side, Meat Packing District, etc) this is THE book for you.
I bought this book prior to a 3 day shopping trip to NYC. I found that it was a wonderful insiders guide to local shops along with Lucky Magazine’s site. This book helped me determine which neighborhoods I wanted to visit and specific stores I didn’t want to miss. A great guide to clothes/shoes shopping! This book doesn’t even attempt to provide information on restaurants, theatre, or shopping for anything outside of clothes.
The main part of the book is organized alphabetically by store name and provides brief descriptions, street address with cross streets, store hours, and approximate price range (luxury, expensive, moderate, etc). In the back is a index by neighborhood that lists all the stores within the area.
Occasionally some of the descriptions left a little to be desired, but one of the best guides to clothes shopping that I have found.
