Book Description

Irreverent Guides April 15, 2000
"Like being taken around by a savvy local." —The New York Times "Little fluff and lots of fun." —Boston Globe "Hipper and savvier than other guides." —Diversion magazine Are you tired of cliché-ridden guidebooks packed with promotional fluff? Then move over to the Irreverent Guides—the travel series that no tourist board would dare to recommend. Look inside for the lowdown on:
  • Great hotels for misbehaving
  • Which big-name restaurants are really worth it
  • Must-sees for first-timers—and hidden gems for those who think they've seen it all
  • State-of-the-art shops you won't find anywhere else
  • Terrific theater far from Times Square's maddening crowds
  • And much more!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The Irreverent Guide to Manhattan gives you the lowdown, the inside story. It has nothing to sell but the truth, which includes a balance of good and bad. It praises, trashes, weighs, and leaves the final decision up to the reader. Our writers take a special pleasure in leading you where other guides fear to tread.

About the Author

Ian McMahan lives in New York City but hopes to spend more time in rural France. In addition to travel journalism, he writes both fiction and nonfiction. His most recent book is Secrets of the Pharaoh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous guide to help plan a fabulous trip!, July 8, 2001
By 
This review is from: Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Manhattan (Irreverent Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book because of the title and I was not disappointed. The information is organized into sections like where to eat, where to sleep, where to shop, etc. and each section has an introduction and run-down of what to expect. Each section is broken down further, like where to eat if you want to spot celebrities and which hotels charge for the toiletries in the rooms. There is a section about the neighborhoods of NYC that is very honest and tells the first time traveler to NY the difference between the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side and Chelsea and SoHo (also how SoHo got its name). Very helpful and honest guide that also includes maps of the hotels, clubs, restaurants, and attractions that it highlights.
