Used NYC Insider Guide for Myself and My Guests
by: Meiling, NYC

Dear Melissa - I think your site is very awesome and helpful for tourists and newcomers. I gave this site to my friends from California last week.
I found your site in google and it is an amazingly complete guide. Even though I live here, I did not have a chance to show my friends around, but fortunately, your site is very helpful for them. They even got a deal for Broadway show from your site, they said.

In addition to that, i have been living in NYC for 6 years but from your site, i get more info where to go for Halloween. Thanks a lot and please keep up with your great works, so much helpful info that people get from your sites.

fantastic way to prepare my next holidays
by: Carmen, Granada, Spain

Hi Melissa,first of all congratulations and thanks to give me a fantastic way to prepare my next holidays.I'm writing to you from a little village in Spain, I've just discovered your blog because I'll be in New York in December to visit my son (he is doing his internship there). We've planned to rent an apartment in the East Village (Sanctuary Guests Suites). I hope I have chosen the right choice. Thanks again for being so generous to share all you know about New York City.

Great Advice - Take Taxis and the Subway
by: Al, Upstate NY

I'm glad I found your website, I love it!! Your website by far is the best website I've come across for people living outside the city. You're best advice to me was to take Taxi's and Subways. I thought driving would be cheaper but I see your point. Thanks, Kind Regards, Al

Great for both visitors and lifelong New Yorkers!
by: Grace C.

I can understand a visiting tourist's confusion when they enter this city. As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I can also understand how a lifelong resident can be swept away with all the hustle and bustle of city life. This city is alive and breathing, thus ever evolving.

Melissa has done a great job of putting everything together into one comprehensive site that addresses each facet of New York - so one can easily find what they are looking for.

Kudos!

love NYC InsiderGuide
by: beth

The Insider Guide was a great reference point when planning my trip to NYC. It is nice to read about places from a real person and not Fodor's. While I didn't take advantage of all of the opportunities that the site introduces to it's readers, on my next trip, I will certainly look into the half price Broadway tickets and hotels from this site.

I miss New York City already
by: Daniel, Australia

I recently visited NYC and have since returned to Australia. Your newsletter was a great way to get local and insider knowledge and helped a great deal in discovering the best places to see and things to do. I actually had to unsubscribe because seeing the newsletter reminded me how much I miss the place.

Congrats From an Old High School Friend...
by: Fran

Hey Missy: I was in O'Hare on a stopover today, and started conversion with a baby boomer couple from Winnipeg. They were traveling to NYC, and had a Google map printed out with handwritten references for events that they "got from this great website!". You guessed it - from the NYC Insider Guide! Of course I told them I knew you and they thought that was pretty cool too...keep up the great work!

NYC Insider Guide is now my Home Page!
by: Michelle

We are in Venice at the moment, because my husband is performing La Traviata at La Fenice Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera for 4 months this winter. We often have to move around Italy, Europe, Canada and USA for working and that's why we are trying to learn NYC fast, so we can live there and enjoy it.

What do I think of www.nycinsiderguide.com? Well, I've chosen it as my home page and you cannot even imagine how precious it is in order to help me in this wonderful jungle named NYC. I'm learning by heart your NYC MAP that I find simply fantastic because of its colors and the things you can learn by clicking the mouse on each neighborhood. So congratulations, we can feel the passion and the excitement behind your job...

by: Mandie

I think the NYC Insider Guide is a wonderful source of information. Are you the only person creating content for the site? I know that it's hard work to maintain a personal blog, so I can only imagine that something like the NYC Insider Guide would take a lot of time and effort to keep up to date.

Love NY and your site!
by: Gale

I just wanted to let you know how much I love your site.

Unfortunately I only get to go to NY about once a year, but when I do, your site is invaluable. I used to have to go to several places to get all the info I needed but now I get it all from just your site. I've even got my friends and co-workers saying it's their favorite NY web site.

We use the NYC Insider Guide any time we have to decide on where to eat, what's the best time to visit a particular museum, what events are taking place while we're there, and all the details you provide like cost, maps, and reviews.

I just got back from NY last week and I used your mini-guide. I just stuck in in my purse and had access to everything I needed. I especially loved the easy to follow maps and we used your restaurant by neighborhood section to help us find great meals.

I love that every time I come back to your site you've got fresh new information.

From Oregon to NYC - I Love Facebook's Open Graph
by: Danika Dahl

I'm a huge fan of Facebook. I live it, I breathe it, I study it...for business.

When I saw a friend in Oregon made a post on his Facebook wall that he was headed to New York City, I knew I had to connect him to the NYC Insider Guide..

Even though he was a somewhat seasoned traveler in New York, I thought he might find all your well-organized and great information handy at some point in his trip.

What didn't dawn on me at the time I was sharing your site, is that he would come back from his trip and provide an incredibly noteworthy content 2.0 page of the "Top 10 Things He Loves About New York City."

It was like a boomerang effect -- in a good way! My only intent was to provide him with one of the best NYC sites, and in turn, he came back with one of the best "Top 10" lists I've ever read. Perhaps, it's because his profession is a writer ;-)

by: Arlene

I think the NYC Insider Guide is awesome, great information given we used a lot of your suggestions on the past trip in April it was very helpful in getting us around and seeing and doing some of the things we never would've known to do not being from there. So any information for us tourists ~:) is great. I look forward to getting the new info each month, that way I can highlight the things that we should be seeing and doing when we come back to your great city.

I really enjoy the New York City Events section with the cool stuff that's usually spread by word of mouth. It's a great way to find out what the locals are doing for fun and makes for some great off-the-beaten-path entertainment adventures! Plus on the website, the photos are fun, and there's a map to help get where you're go'n explore'n!

A genuine and insightful insider guide to NYC
by: Chris

The NYCInsiderGuide is a great site for those new to the city. I found the site when I arrived here from Sydney back in January and have been using it regularly ever since. It's certainly a go-to website on a Friday when you're checking out the cool things to do in Manhattan for the weekend. With guides, maps, accommodation etc - it really has everything you need in just one single place.
