I purchased the Access New York City guide earlier this year for my first trip to the Big Apple. My trip was made quite easy by the Access guide, which is incredible when you consider the complexities of New York City. It really is complete and just about all you need for a successful trip. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for visitors to the "BIG APPLE", April 13, 1999

This review is from: Access New York City (8th ed) (Paperback)

I borrowed a copy of this book in 1994 when i visited NYC for the first time in about 35 years. Flying in on the plane from Dallas, I formed an itinerary , decided where to eat, sleep and be entertained, and it worked perfectly. Last year - 1998 - i visited again, but couldn't find the book for "love nor money" in the UK - then I discovered Amazon.com and had it mailed in within days.... Once again i was delighted by the book,( and the ones on L.A. London,and Paris too by the way). It is absolutely ideal for finding your way round a new city -ENJOY! ( THE END ) ( can I have my cheque now please Mr Editor,.....)
