 Great book for a trip to New York September 30, 2008
My husband and I went to New York for Labor Day Weekend and took this book with us everywhere we went. It had helpful information about restaurants and handy subway maps.
Its only problem is its size. It's a little big. You couldn't put it in your pocket, but it fits all right into a large-ish purse.
VERY GOOD!! August 14, 2008

A useful guide for NYC July 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this guide as a second book when I was planning a short trip to NYC. It has good suggestions for things to do, also has many suggestions for hotels and restaurants. I used it primarily for things to do and see, as I used other guides for food suggestions. If this is your first time visiting NYC or if you are traveling with your family, this is a good resource. It also includes a folding map. One drawback is that it lacks depth, as it includes so much information. I do recommend it as the first book you look at when you start to plan your trip, then you can branch out to more detailed guides. It is a little bulky in shape, and doesn't fit so well in a pocket.
Carry this with you- June 21, 2008

I spent about a month before our vacation reviewing this book. I highlighted, tabbed,and turned the corner down on pages that I thought I would use frequently. The section on suggested itineraries was an excellent "check list" for visiting the hot spots of New York. I was a little disappointed in the restaurant reviews- apparently my family's palate didn't correspond to Frommer's. However, the price rankings were very helpful. The fold out map was indispensable; and be sure to spend some time acquainting yourself with the sections of the city. Once you get the hang of uptown, downtown, west side and east side - and the transporation system - you'll do great! And New Yorkers are EXTREMELY helpful if you get lost or can't find that terrific landmark you are actually standing in front of. This guide is definitely worth purchasing.
