1 comments about Catskill Rivers.
- Great overview of all the Catskill Rivers, the birthplace of fly fishing in America. Must reading for anyone who wants to learn about the colorful characters who will always be the Golden Age of fly fishing. I now feel so grateful to live close to the Catskills, so close to an important part of history.

4 comments about Sleep Cheap in New York: High-Quality Lodgings at Rock-Bottom Rates.
- Travel writer Lisa Mullenneaux's Sleep Cheap in New York: High-Quality Lodgings at Rock-Bottom Rates is the definitive guide to staying in one of America's greatest cities while on a budget. Filled with handy street maps, it covers a wide variety of affordable places to stay from the American Dream Hostel to the New York Inn to various YMCA. Each affordable hotel has a ratings guide, contact information, and a short, direct description. Sleep Cheap In New York is a core, essential reference to finding reasonable lodgings. If you are planning a budget-restricted trip to the Big Apple, begin your travel planning with a careful, money-saving perusal of Lisa Mullenneaux's Sleep Cheap In New York!
- By Bill Marsano. As a native New Yorker and a long-time resident of midtown Manhattan, I'm often asked to recommend a "nice, good, inexpensive" hotel. Bad idea! I live here, and although I do keep a short list in my head, I've never actually stayed at the hotels and know very little about them. After all, nice, good and inexpensive are flexible terms whose definitions vary widely. And since your definition is the only one that counts, don't call me--get a guide. This guide. It's well-organized and thorough, covering not only Manhattan but the 'outer boroughs' (The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and even Staten Island) as well, and it's easy to use. The outer boroughs are especially important. Although most people want to visit Manhattan, it's worth remembering that those 'outer' boroughs are but a few minutes away, in most cases, by bus or subway. OK, from Staten Island you have to take a ferry--but it's a terrific scenic ride, and it's free besides.
Lisa Mullenneaux rates hotels (one to five stars) in categories running from Bare Essentials to Full Services, then proceeds to a helpfully large number of sub-categories: First come value for money, cleanliness, guest services and security. Then she gives you all the dope required for an informed choice: rates; number of rooms (and whether the hotel has private baths or shared baths or both), in-room amenities (TV. hair dryers and such), whether there's an on-premises bar and/or restaurant; hotel parking and the kind of clientele you're likely to run into (tourists, businessmen, etc.). Phone and fax numbers, e-dresses and websites, and cancellation policies are included, as well as any special group discounts (e.g., for AAA and AARP) and wheelchair-accessibility. And after each checklist, Mullenneaux provides a thumbnail description that gives an idea of the 'flavor' of the guest experience. This is the best coverage of New York's low-cost hotels that I've ever seen--miles better than you'll get by calling the city tourist bureau, for example. A half-hour's perusal of this book will save you money, avoid disappointment and quite possibly be the making of your New York vacation.
- A great resource for anyone who is planning to visit NYC - or any New Yorker who wants to know more about the affordable hotels in his or her city. Very informative and cleverly written.
- This book is a valuable guide to finding rooms in NYC that are cheap and affordable. It is well laid out, and provides all the information you need to know in order to make a wise choice. I've stayed in several hotels mentioned by the book, and have not been disappointed.
However, the only problem I have with this book is that it is getting dated. The book was published in 2002, which means the info probably was gathered one or two years before that. I recently had the necessity to consult this book in October 2006, and some of the hotels are not as cheap as they were, and some were just plain expensive!! ( and I've been to NYC 9 times in the last 5 years, so I know the avg hotel rates).
So in a nutshell...this book is an excellent starting point, and will probably help you out in finding inexpensive accomodations, bearing in mind that the info on prices are at LEAST 5 years old or more ( as of Jan 1, 2007). If there is a later edition out there, consult that, and if not..there is definite NEED for one!
