Tourist guidebooks describe one New York City, and eight million people live in another. The increasing number of visitors to the city now can discover the real and far more interesting city. Show business? Sit in the prompter's box at the Met, or take a class for budding comedians. Hike Staten Island's Greenbelt, or look for peregrine falcons in wildlife preserves. For fashion, shop the Garment District warehouses, and for a unique dinner call kosher meals on wheels. Meet a graffiti artist, or an all-night DJ. Attend a flea market auctions. Get your picture taken by the New Year's Eve ball, in a token booth, at the potter's field. There's a whole different New York than the theme park version!

Current maps clearly display the geography of each region and island nation; -- A chapter on "The Literary Pacific," detailing the works of those writers who helped shape the popular image of the South Seas, including Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, and James Michener; -- Nine invaluable Appendices covering airlines, dazzling itineraries for travelers with even the most limited time, field research, birding, helpful vocabulary terms, and a handy "Quick Reference Guide to Pacific Destinations."
