5.0 out of 5 stars Supreme!, June 19, 2000

By 

David Goodman (New York City, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City Condensed (Condensed Guides) (Paperback)

Excellent New York guide book: filled with many places to eat, go, visit, and simply ejoy. Also features detailed pop out maps of the city and surrounding areas. Imporant NYC phone numbers. Includes NYC history and information about specific areas and things to do. For example, let's say you want to know about Central Park. The book has a color picture of the park. It also has the parks location listed, information about the visitor center, a phone number, which buses you can take to get there, what hours it is opened, the cost, the website, and restaurants. There. The book is also entirely in color. Very cheap too!...

2.0 out of 5 stars Choose a different NYC guide, June 28, 2001

This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City Condensed (Condensed Guides) (Paperback)

This guide is too condensed. There is not enough information to plan your trip to NYC! The maps are poor in content and lack many of the needed information. The sections of the book give general information but is not specific enough to help you decide what sites to take in. I suggest choosing another guide that, eventhough it may be a little bigger in size, will give you more information about New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars In NYC for Only a Couple of Days?, September 25, 2003

This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City Condensed (Lonely Planet New York City Encounter) (Paperback)

This is the book to have in your daypack if you find yourself in the Big Apple for a couple of days and only have time to see the highlights. It's got just the right amount of info to find a place to stay, find the best restaurants, and see all the "must see" locations, and a handful of hidden treasures too! The self guided walking tours are one of the best parts of the book. Highly recommended.
