<p>Traditional travelers visit a place to fulfill expectations. Others， though， travel in search of the unknown， to experience &quot;the shock of the new，&quot; to be transformed by the experience. <br />

</p>

<p>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. <br />

</p>

<p>Now， the Monks give their own twist on the traditional guidebook with <em>The Mad Monks' Guide to New York City</em>， 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.</p>
