Product Description

By utilizing the resources of America's premier newspaper, The New York Times Guide is now widely recognized as the most complete and reliable source of information on what to see and do in New York City.

Sightseeing: Writers who live and work here tell you what you need to know about all of New York's legendary landmarks, as well as how to get around this great city--from walking tours of famous neighborhoods to hailing a cap or taking the subways. Plus plenty of maps.

Restaurants: The most respected reviewers in town--William Grimes and Eric Asimov--tell you where to find the city's best restaurants as they guide you through more than 350 of them, from four-star temples of food to great inexpensive neighborhood eateries.

Hotels: Detailed reviews of more than 100 hotels in every price range, including options in every Manhattan neighborhood and the best airport options. No other guide can match this coverage.

Shopping: More than 40 pages of information on stores, boutiques and markets, with a special feature on tracking down bargains all over town. There's even an insider's guide to finding antiques.

Theater, Art and Music: Broadway! Lincoln Center! Carnegie Hall! Top Times critics--Ben Brantley on theater, Michael Kimmelman on art, Anna Kisselgoff on dance, and Bernard Holland and Anthony Tommasini on music--tell you all you need to know about New York's rich cultural life. Plus Grace Glueck helps you locate the most important art galleries.

Nightlife: Want to find a cozy little bar for a nightcap? Looking for a romantic evening of cabaret or a rowdy night of dancing? You'll find descriptions of hundreds of bars and clubs throughout the city, from elegant hotel haunts to the deepest dives.

New York for Children: Laurel Graeber of the Times explores great places for kids--and there are many more than you think.

The Neighborhoods: Find out what's going on in Manhattan--Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, too--as well as which restaurants are your best bets in each borough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Mistakes, January 5, 2005
Better call before you go to any recommended restaurants and double-check all the directions. On our Christmas 2004 visit to NYC we went to El Fogon and found it is now a seamstress shop. Subsequently discovered that El Fogon closed prior to April 2001 according to a Google search. Emily's at 1325 5th Av- closed "a couple years ago" one finds out when calling the phone number listed. Keep in mind these are both "Recommended" in the NY Times 2005 Guide! Going to Tavern-on-the-Green via subway? Guide tells you to take the 6 train to E66th St. You'll wind up on the EAST side at Lexington & E66th but Tavern-on-the-Green is on the WEST side a couple miles away. Try the B train to Columbus Circle or 72nd instead and you'll only be a few blocks away (better yet, take a cab). If you go to the Museum of Modern Art, take a little extra money. The adult admission is $20, not $12 as listed in the book. No wonder the author is listed as "not available". Recommended restaurants that closed a few years ago, inaccurate directions, incorrect information - These are just the mistakes we found-do they really update this every year or just put a new cover on a 4 year old guide? The color map of the subway system on the inside back cover is nice, but be sure to have a magnifying glass to read it. Not sure if they got anything right but if you're going to the Big Apple, don't rely on this book.
