Book Description

Frommer's New York City September 13, 2002
You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go -- they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's New York City features gorgeous full-color photos of the sights and experiences that await you. Meticulously researched by a longtime resident, this is the most practical and user-friendly guide you can buy. Its logistical tips and insightful advice will have you navigating the Big Apple like a pro in no time. Inside you'll find all the traditional tourist favorites, plus local finds, neighborhood hangouts, and little-known gems.

Worried about New York's notorious high prices? You don't have to be -- we've included tips on finding the best airfare, advice on package deals, and a host of hotel bargains. And if money is no object, we'll show you the best places to spend it, whether you want to stay in a plush suite overlooking Central Park or check into downtown's hippest new boutique hotel.

No matter what your budget, you'll find that our candid dining reviews are second to none, with complete details and honest opinions on everything from five-star French restaurants to cutting-edge sushi bars, from classic Jewish delis to Chinatown's best dim sum.

You'll rely on Frommer's for a complete guide to the city's sights, from the Met to Lady Liberty. We'll help you get theater tickets, send you to the best bars and clubs, and show you where to shop til you drop. It's all here in one fun-to-use guide, complete with a color fold-out map.

If you'd like to be guided through some of New York's most intriguing neighborhoods, you might also enjoy Frommer's Memorable Walks: New York. If you're on a tight budget, check out Frommer's New York City from $80 a Day.

3.0 out of 5 stars Take it with a grain of salt..., July 30, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's(r) New York City 2003 (Paperback)
We used this book as our main guide for planning our first trip to NYC. We were REALLY disappointed with most of the shops that were recommended, and almost equally disappointed with the restaurants. In addition, some of the attractions rated "Not Worth It" were actually pretty cool -- specifically Mme. Tussaud's Wax Museum! I guess this book is pretty good for helping one get oriented and to figure out "what's out there", but I'd definitely take its recommendations with a big grain of salt, and leave myself open to trying things that appeal to me, even if this book recommends against them. (I must add that this was all very disappointing, given the good reputation that Frommer's enjoys as a reputable travel guide...)
