Very helpful with maps and planning! And what not to do!! I used this book before and during our trip!

A useful guide for NYC

Customer Rating:

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-

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.
