NFT FAQ
01. Why are your guides different sizes?
Well, you see it’s actually
quite simple. The NFT Guides to New York City, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Queens,
and Boston are all designed to fit neatly in your pocket as these are cities most
typically traversed by foot or public transportation, hence the small, pocket-sized
books for carrying convenience. The LA book is the biggest, so the maps will be
easier to use while driving (LA’s most effective means of transport…sometimes).
The Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and DC books are mid-sized because we like to see
you scratch your heads in confusion when you see these medium bad boys on the shelf.
Seriously though, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and DC are hybrid cities where lots
of folks drive and lots of people take public transportation, so this book is perfect
for driving and commuting by public transport.
In reality, we usually determine the size of the book by the square mileage in our
coverage area. The more real estate we cover, the larger the book needs to be.
02. How do you decide which city NFT is going to cover next?
We follow
a highly scientific process that takes into account the ratio of a city’s population
to how many individuals of said population might actually buy an NFT, then we multiply
that number by the tangent of 7.364% which gives us the value of X. The value of
X is then converted to the metric system, squared under Archimedes’ principle, and
baked at a temperature of 750 degrees Fahrenheit. Then we throw a dart at a large
map of the world and wherever it lands: bingo!
03. What are the next NFT titles in the works?
London! (In the UK. Sorry Ontario, Canada.) And after that we're currently arguing
over New Orleans, Paris, Toronto, Miami, Portland, Minneapolis, San Diego,
Houston, Dallas, Dubai, Omaha, Topeka, Des Moines, Spokane…
04. Where can I buy NFT?
If you’re lazy you can buy any NFT title
on our website—just click on the
Shop NFT link and order away. If you don’t believe in e-commerce, or if you don’t feel like spending money on shipping, you can find NFT at your local bookstores, Barnes and Noble or Borders. For the most part, NFT guides are only carried
in the cities that we cover, so if you live in Nebraska you’ll have to order online.
05. How do you decide which restaurants, bars, shopping, and landmarks are
featured in each NFT Guide?
Practically rocket science. We’ve got a highly selective
team of researchers who cull from every resource available, whittling down all of
the possible inclusions into the most valuable list. And if we call your business
to get your address for the next edition and you’re downright rude to us on the
phone, you’re blacklisted. End of story.
06. How do you decide which hardware stores, bookstores, movie theaters,
coffee shops, schools, supermarkets, banks, liquor stores, video rental houses,
gas stations, parking garages, art galleries, hotels, pet shops, and car washes
will be featured in each NFT guide?
For these categories, it is every single
business we are able to confirm via phone. As long as they reply in a known language.
07. How do you choose your coverage area for each city?
We work with
our city editors to determine the overall coverage area of any city, based on where
the highest population concentration is in each city, and where we think the cool
people who will buy our books live. That’s why we left you out last year, Dorchester
(did we say that out loud?).
08. What is the production schedule for each book?
We produce the books when we have the $$$. Give us your $$$.
09. How do I get my business into the illustrious pages of NFT?
Just hit us with your suggestion on our
Feedback Page and we’ll take a look at it. THEN we’ll decide if you’re truly
worthy.
10. How can I work for you guys?
We are always on the lookout for
City Editors, Neighborhood Editors, Interns, and NYC Wage Slaves. Visit the “Jobs”

11. Why is the cover black?
Because black is beautiful, man.
