StreetSmart NYC Transit Map is so clear and easy to understand you can navigate the city with ease. Public transportation, for all its issues, is the fastest way to get around town and make your trip a success. It is also the best show in town.
For instance: You are looking to find the Ferry from 34 Street in Manhattan to Fulton Landing under the Brooklyn Bridge, or get from the Metropolitan Museum to Yankee Stadium, you are searching for the fastest subway connection from the Upper East Side to Downtown Brooklyn, or meeting friends at South Ferry to connect to the Statue of Liberty or want to see the action down Fifth Avenue from the leisurely comfort of the M1 Bus after having window shopped at Bergdorf Goodman.
Locals call Manhattan “the City” and refer to the boroughs of Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island collectively as the City of New York. VanDam publishes separate titles to Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens in the StreetSmart Format.
StreetSmart NYC Transit Map includes a stunning overview map to show the Five Boros in context of the NJ/NY Metro Area with all major cultural institutions, sights and attractions featured and how they connect by subway, bus, ferry, train and expressway.

But Joe Kavalier is driven by motives far more complex than your average hack. In fact, his first act as a comic-book artist is to deal Hitler a very literal blow. (The cover of the first issue shows the Escapist delivering "an immortal haymaker" onto the Führer's realistically bloody jaw.) In subsequent years, the Escapist and his superhero allies take on the evil Iron Chain and their leader Attila Haxoff--their battles drawn with an intensity that grows more disturbing as Joe's efforts to rescue his family fail. He's fighting their war with brush and ink, Joe thinks, and the idea sustains him long enough to meet the beautiful Rosa Saks, a surrealist artist and surprisingly retrograde muse. But when even that fiction fails him, Joe performs an escape of his own, leaving Rosa and Sammy to pick up the pieces in some increasingly wrong-headed ways.
More amazing adventures follow--but reader, why spoil the fun? Suffice to say, Michael Chabon writes novels like the Escapist busts locks. Previous books such as The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys have prose of equal shimmer and wit, and yet here he seems to have finally found a canvas big enough for his gifts. The whole enterprise seems animated by love: for his alternately deluded, damaged, and painfully sincere characters; for the quirks and curious innocence of tough-talking wartime New York; and, above all, for comics themselves, "the inspirations and lucubrations of five hundred aging boys dreaming as hard as they could." Far from negating such pleasures, the Holocaust's presence in the novel only makes them more pressing. Art, if not capable of actually fighting evil, can at least offer a gesture of defiance and hope--a way out, in other words, of a world gone completely mad. Comic-book critics, Joe notices, dwell on "the pernicious effect, on young minds, of satisfying the desire to escape. As if there could be any more noble or necessary service in life." Indeed. --Mary Park
