(More customer reviews)Compared to older travel guides that are composed of hundreds of pages of solid text, opening Frommer's Color New York City is like discovering a party -- nearly every two-page spread is livened with a map, color photo, or sidebar. To be clear, it isn't like the lush DK Eyewitness series (which is image-heavy at the expense of information), but rather very much like the Fodor's Full Color Gold series.
It's a complete guide to planning a trip, with sections detailing NYC history, boroughs and neighborhoods; hotels, bars and restaurants (limited to those most evocative of NYC -- readers are referred to the Internet for chains); sites, attractions and shopping; suggested itineraries and getting around; and a pull-out map (waterproof and durable).
While Fodor's seems a little more lush and professional, this Frommer's seems a little more personal and practical -- and, for me, preferable.
