Frommer's New York City 2006

Easy to use-very informative. A good guide for a first time visitor. organized by interest groupings (dining, lodging, neighborhoods, etc) which makes it easy to find a specific subject.

Frommer's Fan Forever!

This book had me more informed than some of the New Yorkers I spoke with during my trip. While on one of the double-decker tour buses, I was able to follow along with the easy to read map included with the book and garnered information about various sites that the tour guide did not even address! The information about prices, hours of operation, hotels, and necessities was accurate and much appreciated by our group. My friends joked about my preparedness, but no one was sorry when we always knew where we were going, what it would cost to enter and how long we could stay. The tips about avoiding lines and how to get better deals were also very much appreciated!

Was a Big Help for Me

I recently had a brief vacation in New York City. I used this volume to help orient me (I have been in NYC before on many occasions, so I was not entirely clueless!). Overall, the book is a real plus for those who want to identify an agenda beforehand. The book does a nice job of laying out restaurants, hotels, sites to visit, ways of touring the city, and so on. There are so many possible places to visit, eat, and stay that no volume can cover things completely. Nonetheless, this book is a good resource to begin planning a vacation in the Big Apple. It's well worth purchasing as a means of figuring out the basic outlines of a visit to New York.
