5.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's New York City with Kids, 6th Edition, November 21, 1999
By Gwen Carden "cardenbooks" (Palm City, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frommer's New York City With Kids, 6th Edition (Paperback)
I have two things to rave about - the book and the service from Amazon.com.

First, the book. I wanted to take my 12-year-old son to New York City but had no idea how to plan it, not being terribly familiar with the city. The book made it so easy!

Not only does it describe in great detail the plusses and minuses of activities, it tells what ages are likely to enjoy the activity, the hours, the cost and even how to get there.

After just 2 hours of going through the book and looking at the terrific maps that break Manhattan into three parts, I was able to plan our four days to perfection. Because of the maps with each destination circled and numbered for easy reference, I knew where all the places were within an area, and we didn't waste time traveling on the same day from one extreme of the island to the other.

The restaurant section was terrific, too, and very "right-on."

Now about Amazon. com. I ordered my book at 9 a.m. one Saturday morning. To my amazement, it arrived just a little more than 48 hours later in my maibox! I've been raving about that to everyone.

All-in-all, my shopping experience was terrific and the book was terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, entertaining guide to read, January 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's New York City With Kids, 6th Edition (Paperback)
I have already taken the kids to the Big Apple but wanted to be better prepared for the next trip. I found this guide extremeley helpful and accurate in its assessments. The restaurant reviews are particularly good- that was one area where I "winged it" and wished I had more working knowledge of the city. This guide is worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative guide for travel with kids, May 14, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's(r) New York City with Kids, 8th Edition (Paperback)
Having traveled several times to NYC as a couple, we were unsure as to what our plans would be with two boys, 2 & 6. This guide was invaluable. It is an excellent resource for families. It is particularly useful when choosing family outings, accommodations, & restaurants. Age guidelines & menu summaries are provided for each restaurant. Descriptions of hotels & rooms (& space in the rooms) are given. Lots of info on kids' activities that isn't readily available to a visitor such as shows & museums for children, playgrounds, & even tips for finding a public restroom. And much more. Phone #s, websites, pricing, & age guidelines are given for all. Plus, lots of tips for many popular destinations about waiting times, environment for a small child (or older child), etc. - all that info that parents of young children want! All in all a great guide.
