5.0 out of 5 stars A very precise guide to NYC!, June 20, 2000

By	CoffeeGurl (MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I have wanted to learn about the hottest spots in Manhattan, and Fodor's New York City 2000 was very helpful. In addition to having found some great clubs and restaurants, I was also able to find great and affordable areas in which I can shop without maxing out my credit cards. Also, there are tips on how to protect yourself when taking the subway train late at night. The information in this book is precise and very informative. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're thinking about moving to New York City.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't take it for granted, July 29, 2001

By	Mauricio Alanis M "malanis2" (GARZA GARCIA, NL Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fodor's New York City 2001: Completely Updated Every Year, Color Photos and Pull-Out Map, Smart Travel Tips from A to Z (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

The guide is good and will help any visitor to NYC to get along much better than without a guide. The truth is that even though the book is helpful, if you are used to travel with Frommer's books and never switched to Fodor's, I think there's no need to change. As a Frommer's brand buyer, I missed some features and easy reading when traveling with this book. However, This Fodor's book excells in 2 things, first, the full color photos at the beginning of the book are very inspiring, and second: the post-it flags included are a unique handy feature that will help you to highlight your most important sections of the book.
