BrinkGuide: Manhattan Edition

iOS iPhone

BrinkGuides are a new breed of mobile travel guide. They are interested in what's just under the surface, on the margin, The Brink. They pay special attention to the small businesses that make up the fabric of a city as well as the must see venues that define a destination. Written mainly by opinionated locals, you won't find these kinds of places in travel literature produced by the usual suspects, we can assure you of that. It doesn't matter if you are traveling on a shoestring budget hopping freight trains, or on Daddy's allowance by Lear Jet, Brink Guides illuminate the most interesting nooks and crannies of a new location. Don't find yourself in a strange city without one.

The BrinkGuide Manhattan Edition explores this astounding playground, a beacon of commerce, culture, and creativity, that inspires Greyhound vagabonds and TARP-flush Wall Street execs alike. There's much more to this city than Broadway show-houses and Little Miss Liberty. Our carefully assembled collective of diehard New Yorkers reveal their favorite swanky hotels, gritty dives, and delectable restaurants at every price. From Harlem to the Seaport, from the marshy shores of the Hudson to the epic East River, it's all here.
