Discover The Best of New York City
Content from Frommer's New York City 2010 We all have our personal tastes: what we like to listen to in terms of music, what kind of food we enjoy, what we relate to in art and architecture. Personal taste is a subjective matter, and I (Brian) only pay attention to raves, whether they are for a restaurant, artist, musician, or film, if they are universal. If everyone likes it, it has to be good. Well, not always. Anyway, we’ve (Brian Silverman, Kelsy Chauvin and Richard Goodman) compiled our personal favorites below…for what we can call the “best of” in many areas from experiences to restaurants. You may not agree, but that’s what makes these “best of” lists fun. Just don’t take them too seriously.

 Lively Design, Packed with Info January 19, 2010

Compared to older travel guides that are composed of hundreds of pages of solid text, opening Frommer's Color New York City is like discovering a party -- nearly every two-page spread is livened with a map, color photo, or sidebar. To be clear, it isn't like the lush DK Eyewitness series (which is image-heavy at the expense of information), but rather very much like the Fodor's Full Color Gold series.
It's a complete guide to planning a trip, with sections detailing NYC history, boroughs and neighborhoods; hotels, bars and restaurants (limited to those most evocative of NYC -- readers are referred to the Internet for chains); sites, attractions and shopping; suggested itineraries and getting around; and a pull-out map (waterproof and durable).
While Fodor's seems a little more lush and professional, this Frommer's seems a little more personal and practical -- and, for me, preferable.
Great books, even for new yorkers! (better for families) January 15, 2010

Me and my wife had moved to the big apple about two years ago, and own pretty much all of the tour guides on the subject.
As loyal fans of the lonely planet series, we had a really hard time believing that this book will have something new to offer,however, we were pleasantly surprised!
The Book's 486 pages are filled with great up-to-date information including very specific maps and excellent itineraries, for example: new york in 1,2 and 3 days, other boroughs in a day and many more to suit every desire!
this book is very well suited for families and people traveling with children since it offers everything from entertainment and food for families.
The first chapter is the itineraries and the 'top' everythings, and the next few chapters go in depth on how to plan a trip and how to get around in the city. The book continues to describe the neighborhoods, along with suggested itineraries, and finishes off with a list of after dark activities, shopping and a variety of maps.
All in all, a very recommended book, especially for those traveling with children.

I bought a few NY guides before my trip, and didn't know how to proceed with them.
Once on the spot, this one proved to be extremely useful. Very practical, really updated infornation by subjects, by districts, good maps, especially the foldable general map I could take with me in my coat pocket...
I left the others in the hotel room the day I was flying back, and took this one back to Spain with me, just in case.
Good guide for tourists and even New Yorkers December 31, 2009

Frommer's New York City Guide is a great resource for anyone visiting New York City. With its colorful detailed maps, restaurant and hotel reviews, you'll know what places to go to, and what places to avoid. There are also tips and itineraries for various other things to do while you're visiting. If you're visiting NYC for the first time, then this guide should be a must have. Even New Yorkers will find Frommer's guide very helpful.

Recommended. Frommer's does good city guides for major cities, but I wish they would do one for lesser-visited important cities like Seoul.
