Make Your Own NYC Guidebook

2006_05_citynotebook.gifThe Moleskine folks are determined to make sure we don't forget about good ol' pen and paper, as they have just launched City Notebooks. The notebook will come with maps, blank pages, "translucent sticky sheets" and more where you get to mark things up and note interesting things. There are only European cities available now, with American City Notebooks (NYC, DC, Boston, LA and San Francisco) coming in 2007, but it could be a nice gift for a friend moving away to the Continent or doing the study-abroad thing. And Gothamist will have until 2007 to remember how to use a pen.

You can find out where to order Moleskine notebooks here.

Lets see, I can save oodles of money if I just do what I do now and use a good old reporter's notebook (about a buck each) and the free DOT bike map (which is handy to have if you need to find a bike shop while exploring or want to plan a route that has bike lanes (for pre-planning nycbikemaps.com. Now if anyone wants a subway map, you can get them free from the TA, just ask the Railroad Clerk! Subway maps also make good emergency wrapping paper, too.
And who needs "translucent sticky sheets" when there are post-its?

OR, buy the good old Manhattan Diary planner--has tons of handy phone numbers, bus and subway map!
