Holistic Guidance - The New York Observer

If your looking for dry objective facts then this is the wrong publication, however it's personality that makes New York City what it is and the Observer is like having a team of best friends write you a weekly cheat sheet. What's nice is that while the Observer can focus on high society and culture but it never takes itself too seriously and has quite a bit of good humor. There is a high attention to detail so even an article on a community board meeting or a real estate listing can become interesting.
