内容简介

Traditional travelers visit a place to fulfill expectations. Others， though， travel in search of the unknown， to experience "the shock of the new，" to be transformed by the experience.

In the deep， dark 1980s， James Crotty and Michael Lane quit their jobs， traded everything they owned for a used 26-foot mobile home， and hit the road. Their mission: to report on the incredible people， places， and parking lots they encountered along the way. The first fruit of their labor was Monk: The Mobile Magazine， published from their dashboard and documenting in all its warts and weirdness whatever city or town they'd rolled into that month.

Now， the Monks give their own twist on the traditional guidebook with The Mad Monks' Guide to New York City， an exploration of what's truly unique， honest， and valuable in the city that never sleeps. With reviews of the most Monkish hotels， restaurants， bars， cafes， events， music， performances， stores， and more- -and featuring interviews with Quentin Crisp， Annie Sprinkle， the Reverend Calvin Butts， official city clock winder Marvin Schneider， and 18 other quintessential New Yorkers--Monks' NYC is the essential guide to New York's creative heart.
