5.0 out of 5 stars Let This Be Your Essential (But Not All-Inclusive) Resource for Visiting the Big Apple, May 16, 2006
By Ed Uyeshima (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)         
From Lonely Planet to the Rough Guides, location-specific guidebooks generally seem so transient since a purchase generally depends upon an upcoming trip and soon afterward ends up in a storage box collecting dust or on craigslist for sale. There is no incentive to return to the book once the trip has ended. However, while on vacation having breakfast just last weekend in the Chelsea neighborhood, a complete stranger asked to borrow my copy of this guidebook because he wanted to give his dining companions an instant visual cue to some of the top sites to visit in New York. Rarely have I seen a book so constantly used and displayed in public without hesitation as I have with this one. I happen to be a long-time fan of the series of Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Travel Guides as I find them unique in the travel resource field.

The Eyewitness Travel Guides are terrific both as a backpack resource and as a keepsake afterward. I have about ten of their books on my shelf, and the New York City guide is a particularly strong entry in the series since there is such a robust amount of information to cover. Thanks to its pleasing graphics and intuitive organization by neighborhood, this is one guidebook I use often even though I am quite familiar with Manhattan. Of particular use are the detailed pictorials showing animated aerial shots of neighborhoods and cut-away floor plans of heavily visited buildings like the Empire State Building and the newly renovated Museum of Modern Art. It also helps make geographic sense of neighborhoods that allow you to navigate easily through them by pointing out recommended sights.

The first part of the book presents a brief history of the city that is both interesting and useful, as events are cross-referenced to sights you would want to see there. There is a well-presented survival guide toward the end of the book that highlights important travel information as well as recommendations on where to stay, shop and eat. Moreover, there is a comprehensive street finder for Manhattan, which helps you navigate without the inconvenience of fold-out maps plus the all-important subway map. All this information is contained within a user-friendly, laminated paperback format that slips easily into backpacks and holds up well against inclement weather. By no means is this the end-all guidebook for New York City, but it does provide a solid foundation as you scoop up your copies of the New Yorker and Time Out to see what is current and worth seeing.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb maps, helpful advice for Manhattan travel, March 24, 2007
By Jennifer King (Albany, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've just returned from my fourth trip to NYC since owning this book, and I can't imagine how I managed without it in the past. The map section in the back of the book is very helpful for navigating Manhattan with its 22 clear maps charting the whole island, and the rest of the book is full of smaller, more specific maps. The "Getting around New York" section is also very helpful, sharing such tips as the "formula" for pinpointing avenue addresses in Manhattan and the phone number to call if you find your car has been towed (I thankfully haven't needed that one yet).

If you are planning to spend much of your time in boroughs other than Manhattan, you might want to try to find a book with a broader scope, but for Manhattan travel, this one is a great choice.

I usually love the Eyewitness books, and this one lives up to their good reputation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate travel guide, April 3, 2007
By H. Smith (North Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Our family of four went to NYC for spring break and purchased the DK book beforehand to help plan our time wisely. Although we didn't leave Manhattan, the book covers all of the city very well. Maps are excellent, pictures are done in exquisite DK style. A must have for travelers. We also have the Paris one from a few years ago - made travel and sightseeing there much easier as well. Also a more compact size than some, making it easier to pack.
