Drawing on the same standards of accuracy as the acclaimed DK Eyewitness Travel Guides, each book in DK's Top 10 series uses evocative color photography, excellent cartography, and up-to-date travel content to create a reliable and useful pocket-sized travel guide.



Dozens of Top 10 lists provide vital information on each destination, as well as insider tips, from uncovering a city's most memorable sights to finding the best restaurants and hotels in each neighborhood. And to save you time and money, there's even a Top 10 list of Things to Avoid.



Each Top 10 contains a pull-out map and guide that includes fold-out maps of city metro systems, useful phone numbers, and 60 great ideas on how to spend your day.

I recently got several books on New York for an upcoming trip. This one is my favorite. It is user friendly, and organized in an easy to use format. I especially like how it is broken up into neighborhoods, and then further broken down. If you happen to be in midtown and are hungry, you can find a good restaurant. Looking for an art museum, shopping, or garden is just as easy. Also it includes information on how to get tickets in advance, and website addresses when avail. Can't wait to use it.

I just ordered the latest edition of this book; I had the older version and it was great! I just used it for a walking tour of high rise lobbies and churches. It includes pictures and descriptions, maps, and it even shows opening times. I got the new one to ensure that I have the latest opening times. If you are interested in the architecture and flavor of various neighborhoods in Manhattan, it's great. It's organized by neighborhood so you can concentrate on one section of the city and pick out what you want to see. You can get a good idea of what you will see from the pictorial maps and photographs. This is a very useful book.

This review is from: Top 10 New York (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides) (Paperback)

So it says "Top 10"??? It's MUCH more than that. My daughter and I used this on a recent 5 day trip to the Big Apple, and it helped us take many more bites of it than we'd anticipated, including ferry info for the Statue of Liberty, great restaurants in various areas (in all price ranges), learning about free concerts at a Church near Ground Zero, how to navigate MoMA, and the like.

It's not a heavy book, it's purse-packable, and it's extremely handy in design and features. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! While you might want to read others prior to heading to NYC, this one is the one to actually bring along (maybe with some photocopied pages from others... if you insist!)
