Great guide for visitor or resident alike,
By A Customer
This review is from: Virgin New York (Paperback)
I bought this for my friend who moved to NYC from Portland, OR and she's used it to make a place for herself in that ever changing and ever confusing city! We also used it to pick places to go out to when we went clubbing and out to eat during my visit. I only hope they put out an updated version soon - what was cool in NYC a year ago isn't always so "hot" now!

This review is from: New York: 1000 of the Best Places to Eat, Drink and Shop (Virgin Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this edition. I had seen some of the older Virgin guides and was impressed with their hipness and reviews of places that aren't mentioned in the standard guidebooks.This pocket edition is very small (maybe 2/3rds the height of a standard paperback and less than one inch thick), consequently the listings are, shall we say, sparsely worded. Even the longer "reviews" are only one or two sentences. Beware also that this book includes only places to eat, drink and shop. The hotel section is laughable - only a few pages long and one sentence per hotel. Hardly enough info on which to base a decision. That's the overall problem with this book - it might contain the same number of individual listings as the larger version, but they decided to rip out the content (text) in order to make it fit into the pocket size. Not recommended.

New York in your pocket,
This review is from: New York: 1000 of the Best Places to Eat, Drink and Shop (Virgin Pocket Guides) (Paperback)
The best thing about this book is it's size it fits handilly in your pocket. Planning a visit to New York in February 2002 i did hope for more from this guide. Its size limits the entries to a few lines which is the books main problem. The Bars section may come in useful but Virgin will have to do better if they want to rival Time Out's NY guide.
