Unlike like any other travel guide this one first immerses you in the rich history of NYC most glamorous and charming district. Later gives you a comprehensive guidance between Jazz and Gospel and it finishes with an accurate selection of places for all kinds of budgets and tastes.
I own other Assouline travel books but so far this one is the one I consider has larger research and doesn't only give you A-List and super expensive places. If you plan to visit Harlem soon you might want to check.
