1. This is the best guide on New York I've ever read. It's fast, pithy and filled with inside information. I go to New York a lot on business and I've tried a lot of guides but this is the best. It highlights the top restaurants in a city filled with outstanding restaurants, the top sights to see in a city filled with interesting places and the top things to do in a city loaded with things to do; it's just a terrific guide! The best!



2. I'm a single woman and I went to New York with a lot of trepidation. A friend gave me The Top 10 Guide as a going away present. I read it on the plane and I was so excited about the city by the time I got there. It's filled with inside hints and highlights of special places and things to do. The author shares his enthusiasm for the city and tells you the most important things to do to make your trip fun. I was there alone for a week and I used this Guide exclusively. The author's got everything organized. I just went down the lists checking off everything as I did them. I had a terrific time. And it was the Top 10 Guide made the difference. I strongly recommend it.

1. Very thorough, full of info on prices, how to get around, what to see and do. all guide books do that i guess, but this covered a lot of ground and didn't seem to be written just for mom and dad and the kids. it saved a lot of time and guess work and pointed me in the direction i wanted to go.



2. I just love this travel guide to New York City. Written with a spirit of discovery and frank commentaries, one can't find a better budget guide book than this. The book is categorically divided into different segments representing different activities from dining to places-of-interest. The range of choices in food, accommodation and travel hot spots will tickle your desire to go on a trip to NYC but immediately. It offers a wide array of prices and quality of products to expect in NYC: from posh Plaza Hotel that "looks like a cake sitting opposite Central Park" to the economical Sweet Hill Intl Hostel in North Mahattan; from cheap F&B to the mouth watering French cuisines; from free Staten Ferry rides to the elite class' pastime of scaling the Empire State Building - Frommer's got it all there. It's a all-in-one book with a free map and subway notes. BUY IT!



3. I'm an editor at Frommer's Travel Guides, and I worked on this book; I can tell you that Cheryl Farr Leas is a thorough, dedicated REAL New Yorker, with attitude & skills. This edition of the book required a lot of new information about how transit was affected by 9/11, updated security measures, and the latest (as we went to press) about what was open, and the latest information/predictions about what is going to happen at and how to visit Ground Zero.

   This is a book I've used for reference because even we New Yorkers don't know every neighborhood, every dining bargain (though we like to think we do).

   When friends are coming to town, I go to this book to recommend hotels that they'll particularly like because the descriptions really give you a feel for the ambience of the place, who would be most comfortable there (and places some people WOULDN'T be comfortable in).

   New York is one expensive town, and I particularly appreciate the tips for low-cost (and free) entertainment: bars with no cover charge where you can hear live music, ways to get breaks on theater tickets, a list of when some cultural institutions have free admission. It's a good book to have around even if you don't have friends coming to town!

1. The guide is interesting and compact, with a lot of information, but it is not always easy to retrieve it. It is somehow dispersed in different chapters and sometimes you come across what you look for only by chance.
   The map is very useful and good quality (plastified) to be carried along without damaging it too quickly.
