Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a definite researcher. Seems that lately travel guide books have become a little obselete for there are so many sites online to find all the info you need. I am going to New York City in March as a birthday treat to stay in Times Square and see many shows. I don't live far, will be coming from Boston. I did much research on the area online for hotels, restaurants, sightseeing with some from frommers.com. But I want this trip to be as great as possible so I splurged and got the actual Frommers travel book.
I am so glad I did. This 408 page volume is filled to the brim with well researched, detailed information for anything you may need. I found all the info i needed for Times Square plus taxi costs from the airport, amounts to tip various workers etc. - all things I needed to know. The book is so detailed not only on the biggest tourist areas but on the entire city and gets you very excited to explore different areas of this multifaceted city. I have extended my stay to be able to really feel all areas of the city.
The author gives you restaurant listings, hotel listings and sightseeing suggestions for all city sections in all price ranges and interests. For each area a map is provided showing where all the places are located. There is also one huge foldout map included in the book. I must say I found this book priceless with all its up to date info. And the opinions are very honest withe the reasons backing the opinion. This helps me with making my decisions. I also give huge kudos to Frommers for they suggest throughout the book to use frommers.com and other online sites for further information. This is definitelty a guide whose purpose is to give you the most info possible.
This book is an essential, honest information filled volume that is a necessity to read before and to have during your trip to one of the most famous cities in the world. Highly recommended.
