Introducing the Per Annum Manhattan Daily Plan-It The Quintessential Desk-Sized Planner & City Guide for the Big Apple Recommended by Whom You Know!

If you have been listening, both Peachy Deegan and Tom Coughlin have said the name of the game is to BE PREPARED, and that means being organized.  We've caught up with one of our most favorite organizational brands, Per Annum and are thrilled to introduce the Per Annum Manhattan Daily Plan-It!  We tell you about all the fantastic everything Manhattan has to offer; now you need to make a list for yourself and accomplish your agenda!  Our esteemed panelists rave:

What in the world did I do with out my Manhattan Daily Plan it from Per Annum. That is the question you will be asking yourself after you try this wonderful daily organizer. This book is filled with NYC information such as restaurant listings, hotels, shopping, sporting facilities and so on. It also includes street and transit maps, everything you need to get around the city. This beautiful book is high quality and looks stylish. Perfect for the lady or gentleman on the go. You can even customize the cover with your name or initials. Keep yourself organized with the Manhattan Daily Plan it.

The electronic calendar I rely on is adequate for daily scheduling but has limitations which Per Annum’s Manhattan Daily Plan-It helps it overcome with panache and style. For instance, I am now able to quickly browse intra-week activities and future or past appointments without the time-consuming effort of having to click on each day individually to reveal content. P
er Annum’s Manhattan Daily Plan-It’s calendar and daily planner sections are laid out sensibly, with hourly delineations and a separate room on each page for notes. T
he layout of the Daily Plan It’s planner section will help even the most disorganized person get their daily schedules under control. 
The 2013 Daily Plan It has a valuable two-page forward planner for 2014 which lays out each month of the year, holidays and other relevant information for ease of planning.  
The Manhattan street and transit maps are clear and useful tools for navigating the City – even for someone who has lived in New York City for 26 years. 
The Manhattan Daily Plan-It places a range of handy information at your fingertips – metric conversions, Farenheit to Celcius conversions, time differences between New York City and other countries, even Robert Parker’s vintage wine table.  
The Manhattan Daily Plan-It’s list of restaurants, grouped by location and containing cost guides, is impressive so far as the quality and character of the establishments listed is concerned. Each and every one of them offers a memorable experience.  
In and of themselves, the Manhattan Daily Plan-It informational listings remind me of all that New York City has to offer.

Manhattan Plan-It complements the pocket version. The front section contains an extensive listing of New York City spots, along with interesting tidbits including a Vintage Wine Table and a wind chill table. This larger, daily format is also available as the Metropolitan Desk Diary. The planner contains informational listings and area maps for 15 major United States cities, plus a week-to-a-spread calendar. Per Annum has been a leading innovator in personal organization with their award winning, pocket sized City Diaries since 1979. No batteries of internet connection needed! I found all of their products to contain high quality paper, colorful, elegant covers, and easy to find ribbons for place marking. It is never too early to start your Holiday gift list and we think Per Annum products belong right at the top!

Not just another daily planner, this "Manhattan Plan It" by Per Annum is perfect for a discreet desktop accessory. Filled with pages of great reference information that includes Stock Averages (!), and maps of all 5 boroughs, this will help you plot your days in the streets of New York City. It's a perfect gift for a new assistant, an intern, or a boss who can't find his way out of the office. The daily appointment spaces are a generous full page, for each day's appointments, thoughts, notes, receipts, whatever. So often in a daily planner, we have only a scant half-a-page on which to write a full day's happenings! For those of us who don't believe all that "Hop Stop" tells us, this is a sure-fire way to get where you're going, plan in hand. Take some time to peruse the list of clubs, restaurants and shops, to see which ones you know. Make plans to visit new neighborhoods, with a full itinerary plotted beforehand. If you don't have the time to do off-the-cuff things in New York City, the pages of this "Plan It" will help you get out there, and make the most of every second.
