5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, January 29, 2005
By JJ (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City (Paperback)
If you are like most locals, we never have time to explore the city. Too much work, too many commitments. This guide helped me find things nearby I didn't even know existed. I really like the Loney Planet guides in general and this one is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enlightening guide, October 11, 2005
This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City (Paperback)
There are travel books that throw a bunch of facts at you and, in the end, that's what you're left with: Useless, "soul-less", undifferentiated information that leaves you no wiser. This guide is different. It's pretty clear that Beth Greenfield cares about "her" city and knows a tremendous amount about it. She's written a guide that I found enlightening despite being no stranger to NYC. I visited old city haunts with a new understanding after reading this guide. For New York ex-pats, this guide will bring back some fond memories ... I highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this guide only as a complement to the "Top 10 New York" guide, or other small guide like that..., September 2, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet New York City (Paperback)
I recently visited NYC for the first time. I took only three books about that city with me: this guide, the "Top 10 New York" guide, and "The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide". I must say that the "Lonely planet NYC Guide" was not my favourite, though.

Truth to be told, this guide has a lot of useful information, and that proved helpful in some cases. What is more, it has some interesting planned walking tours that I liked, and good sections with data about the city and its history.

On the other hand, this guide doesn't have too many photos in color, and it includes some maps that are not specially good, particularly if you compare them with the spectacular maps of the "Top 10 New York" guide. Furthermore, it is big enough to be heavy, something that you will not appreciate if you have to carry it with you the whole day.

On the whole, I can say that I liked this guide, but I recommend it only as a complement to the "Top 10 New York" guide, or another small guide like that, the kind of guide that you can carry with you while you leave the "Lonely planet NYC Guide" in your hotel room to check at night if needed. Enjoy your trip :)

What makes this a great guide is the fact that the listings for attractions/ shops / etc all have map numbers, which makes them very easy to find on the book's maps. Read more
