Mother Tourista's Helping Hand(Book): New York City Companion cleverly explains ‘how to act in NYC and navigate the culture’ to newcomers. It’s an essential companion guide that helps readers get the ‘inside’ basics of Manhattan so they can plan their attitude and their trip before arrival. Written in a friendly and humorous style, it teaches people about getting into the flow without coming to blows, getting their bearings and keeping them walking the walk and talking the talk. Its upbeat tone and friendly encouragement -- phrases like "You can do this" or “It’s OK; most New Yorkers didn’t know this their first time either” are sprinkled throughout -- allow a first-time visitor to feel more confident in navigating this complex city and dealing with its complex inhabitants. Whether you are a first-timer with questions or a saavy New Yorker wanting to see if your favorite tip is included, this book is for you!
