This review is from: Fodor's Citypack New York City, 3rd edition (Citypacks) (Paperback)

The NYC Fodor's is one of the best tourist guide: I'm an italian tourist and I found this guide very useful for me: I think it's very important for a tourist to have a complete but easy guide. This guide it's very easy to understand, to read, to look for the streets, to find a restaurant and for all the monuments of NYC. It gives you lot of news about the city and it explain to you the dangerous zones of Nyc. Very interesting and useful: my suggest it's ... buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Helpful For First Time Visiters, October 6, 2000

This review is from: Fodor's Citypack New York City, 3rd edition (Citypacks) (Paperback)

I found this book really helpful on my recent trip to NYC for a job interview. I had never been to the BIG APPLE and was really anxious and nervous about my trip. I didn't know where to stay, where to eat and how to see as much of the city as I could in a very limited amount of time. And, this book helped me out on all three on those concerns. I found it to be very well thought out, easy to follow and full of wonderful information. The lodging section was exceptional and I was able to find a great place to stay (The Wellington Hotel) that was in my price range and location all because of the helpful "Citypack." I think that any traveler would find it helpful and should really consider investing the money in a great resource book like this. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quick Reference, November 8, 2001

This review is from: Fodor's Citypack New York City, 3rd edition (Citypacks) (Paperback)

Found this a good quick reference to choose which of the "usual" tourist sites to see in New York. Found it to be very handy - it fit in my purse, and the maps were particularly useful. IT's tips and suggestions on what to see were also useful.
