For Anyone going to NYC, January 26, 2009
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to New York City (Mass Market Paperback)
Complete Idiot's Guide to New York City 2009 by Anita Gates is the new version of the best guide to the Big Apple. Like other Idiot's Guides, this is simple to follow with all your questions answered, whether you live there or are visiting. Gates, who lives in this, one of America's most expensive cities, give great tips as to how to save money, what is worth visiting and what is not (no matter what you've heard), and easy logistics to getting there in what could be very complicated. Of course, hotels, restaurants, and kep points of interest are included with phone numbers and addresses in boldface. And Anita includes many tips of how to enjoy yourself while you are there instead of being overwhelmed by logistics. Of special interest and unique to this book are the two chapters on each of the three areas of the city. Gates has divided it into East Side plus Queens, West Side plus the Bronx, and Downtown plus Brooklyn and Staten Island. She tells how to familiarize yourself with the area you choose and how to feel comfortable and safe in it. She has prepared walking tours for each area, telling you what you will enjoy. With her detailed one day itinerary for each of the sections she shows you the simplest way to get from point A to point B and to maximize your time to see as much as possibe along the way. This is THE BOOK for NYC!
