In addition to the Community Profiles offered by the New York Times, a book entitled Newcomers Handbook for New York City, published by First Books, Inc., Chicago, provides excellent descriptions of New York neighborhoods. Another informative guide to neighborhoods in and around New York City is a book entitled If You’re Thinking of Living In . . . , published by Random House.
