ONE BELONGS TO NEW YORK INSTANTLY, ONE BELONGS TO IT AS MUCH IN FIVE MINUTES AS IN FIVE YEARS. - TOM WOLFE

DEAR NFT USER:

ONCE UPON A TIME, WAY BACK IN THE YEAR 2000, WE RELEASED OUR VERY FIRST BOOK, THE NFT GUIDE TO MANHATTAN. TODAY THAT LITTLE BLACK BOOK HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST RELIED UPON RESOURCES FOR NAVIGATING NEW YORK CITY. THE FACT THAT SO MANY NEW-COMERS AND LONGTIMERS OVER THE YEARS HAVE POUNDED THE PAVEMENT WITH NFT STUCK IN THEIR BACK POCKETS IS A GREAT SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR US. PLUS, YOU CAN STILL FIND IT IN ALL OVER TOWN IN OUR FAVORITE BOOKSTORES (OR AT LEAST WHATS LEFT OF THEM). AND NOW WE ARE READY TO ADD A NEW PRODUCT TO THE SHELF AND OPEN A NEW CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF NFT.

THIS BRAND NEW GUIDE YOURE HOLDING IS BOLDLY REDESIGNED WHERE NO NFT HAS GONE BEFORE, OFFERING A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF EACH NEIGHBORHOOD FROM THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND GREENWICH VILLAGE TO HARLEM AND INWOOD IN A COLORFUL AND STYLISH LAYOUT. START FLIPPING THROUGH, AND YOULL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT FROM NFT CLASSIC. SAY HELLO TO BEAUTIFUL CITY PHOTOS AND ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDCRAFTED IN THE SAME TRADITION OF THE FINEST HOUSE-CURED MEATS IN BROOKLYN OR THE CHEWIEST COAL-FIRED PIZZA CRUST IN MANHATTAN.

BECAUSE REMEMBER, THIS ILLUSTRATED GUIDE IS, AT ITS CORE, AN ARTISANAL PRODUCT. WITH NFT, THE BLURBS YOU GET ARE ALL HOUSE MADE, NEVER PROCESSED, ESPECIALLY VIA SOME FACELESS ALGORITHMBECAUSE, LETS FACE IT, OUR SERVERS COULD NEVER HANDLE IT ANYWAY. LIKE THAT ROOMY BOUTIQUE ON THAT SKETCHY BLOCK DOWN BY THE WATERFRONT, NFT IS CAREFULLY CURATED TO OFFER YOU THE BEST OF WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TO OFFER.

HAVE SOME FEEDBACK? PLEASE, DONT BE SHY, BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY ARE NOT. PLEASE SEND US A NOTE AT WWW.NOTFORTOURISTS.COM OR ON TWITTER @NOTFORTOURISTS, BECAUSE IN THE END, NFT IS A FAMILY, AND WE WOULDNT BE WHO WE ARE WITHOUT YOU. SO IF YOURE NEW TO US AND THE CITY, WELCOME! AND IF YOUVE BEEN WITH NFT FOR THE LONG HAUL, THANKS FOR PICKING UP OUR NEWEST ADVENTURE IN CITY GUIDES.

CHEERS,

JANE, ROB, SCOTT, CRAIG, ET AL.
