It's a great city book, with very detailed history for New York. It helps creating your setting even if you don't want to use the date of 2001, because it'll provide the city's history for you to build upon, it has great ideas for hooks that are anachronistic and can still be used.
The NPCs are great as there's no Methuselah out there to get your players and dominate them into submission. It's a good setting for starting characters to thrive, but not a good place for munchkin combat guys because of social ostracism. So I'd say it's pretty good in that regard.
All in all I'd buy this in a jiffy, preferably the paper one but if you have an ipad or anything this is a must buy for you New York chronicle.
