The Guide to Finding a Little Italy In New York (the Sight, the Restaurant, the Pizza, the Pool, the Mansion, the Hotel, the Bar, the Shopping, the Toilets, the Flight and the Rest) from Pearl Escapes 2011

I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or finding what to do when I did take time off. So, I thought “wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant.” So that's what I did.

This is my guide to an Italian influenced tour of New York (including the best pizza I could find – none of the usual suspects).

Oh and there's a great tip on where to find impeccable toilets on your journey.
