Okay, this is the third and almost the last of my posts about who I met in NYC. Not for Tourists is an independent publisher of guidebooks. They do a whole load of US cities in addition to the one that doesn’t sleep, including LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Washington, Atlanta and Philadelphia and more. They’re launching the London edition in October. They are the very epitome of an indie NY publishing company and they get the Web. They get it to such an extent that they give all the content away - as in, you can get a PDF of everywhere they cover. As founder Rob Tallia says, “You either pay in money or printer cartridges and paper”. We had a really fun time with Rob and Craig and I look forward to steak and booze next time. 
You can’t write for this outfit unless you live where you’re talking about. This and the design is very moleskine:elastic, This makes NFT (could be some probs there chaps - we have a National Film Theatre known as NFT here in old Europe… but perhaps that’s an other opportunity… who knows?) a highly desirable objet-cum-info-resource. Seriously better than Time Out. More clandestinely Web 2.0 than Kudocities and Qype. Moodier, cooler name than StreetFlow. Rock and roll - I want a t-shirt (they’ve sold out). I turned up in a Euro-looking scarf with Richard Lawson. They took the piss a bit. We all got on.
