Reader-friendly; hundreds of new listings and highlighted descriptions and the best places to find them; a multitude of information saving you time and money.

From the Author

I love New York. This book is about finding your New York. While "Where To..." has become better organized and more formalized over the years, it remains a collection of personal notes and opinions. Nobody pays for a listing. Whether you're planning your first visit to New York or have lived here all your life, I think my insights will prove helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Useful, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Gerry Frank's Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York (Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York, 11th ed) (Paperback)

One of the handiest aspects of this book is the series of walking tours that Frank suggests. They are manageable and organized by neighborhood, as well as by day of the week. This is especially useful, since shops, museums, etc. may be closed on odd days. This book is far more useful than the average "guide" to a city. A wealth of well-organized information. Bargain hunters will be pleased, too. Indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must-Have' For Anyone Going to New York City, May 21, 2005

This review is from: Gerry Frank's Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York (Paperback)

My wife and I went on our first trip to New York recently. A friend told us about Gerry Frank's book, Where to Find It, Buy It, Eat It in New York. The book has all the usual information about museums, tours and hotels. But it also has information about the little out-of-the-way and unique places that we wouldn't have otherwise known about, such as the rare book store hidden away on the second floor of a Manhattan building , and the store that only sells purses and handbags but sells thousands of them. We went to three restaurants he recommended, and they all matched his recommendation. This is a book you can trust. It tells you about the good hotels and restaurants, the high-priced ones that are worth it and the ones that aren't, the ones that are the best value, and the ones to avoid. All written in an entertaining, easy-to-understand way.
Rhonda and I have the book saved in a special spot, waiting for our next trip to New York.
