Description:
Start spreading the news - our new guide to NYC is out and you are going to love it. It's smart and stylish, with a limited edition silver cover perfect for this shimmering, luminous city. Written by three opinionated New Yorkers (is there any other kind?), they share their knowledge on the best restaurants, shopping, art galleries, theatres, you name it. From Central Park to Park Slope, Soho to Dumbo, these locals know where to be in NYC.
So what makes this guide so great? Well there's: o A full-colour pull-out map highlighting walking tours and attractions. And it's waterproof too, so if you spill your martini, it just wipes straight off. o Up-to-the-minute, blink-and-you'll-miss-it, insider tips from NYC residents. o The lowdown on some offbeat outer borough adventures. o Gloriously glossy mini-guides. o Detailed arts and entertainment coverage, from live music to rooftop happy hours. o Themed walking tours so you can fully explore Soho shopping or East Village rock `n' roll.

Great book!Nov 10, 2008 I just returned from my trip to NYC. This little book proved to be well worth the money. It was well organized and easy to use. I did a few of the suggested neighbourhood walks and they were great. I did not try any of the retaurant recommendations though, but in NYC there is so many food options they can only really scratch the surface in a book like this. I did check out several of the attractions and enjoyed all of them. Lonely Planet hits another one out of the park!
Lonely Planet - Useful, as always11Jul 13, 2008 I've always used Lonely Planet travel guides in my travels. There's way more to NYC than a guidebook could ever cover but Lonely Planet did a great job as it always does. It's always good to know that I can trust LP to provide the basic information regarding how to get to/from the airport, transportation around the city as well as other information regarding sights and restaurants.

Good guide, but double-check the mapsSep 06, 2007 I had to buy this book at the last minute, due to the fact that I wasn't contented with the format and information that New York (Eyewitness Travel Guides) had, which I borrowed from a friend. And I was fairly contented with the amount of information that LP has for this book. It has a detailed coverage of Manhattan and its neighborhoods, and it covers areas outside Manhattan more extensively than the other book.
The one complaint I have about this edition is that they do not double-check the maps. The map at p. 282 especially is at fault. For example, the Majestic Theater is at w 44th St. but the map lists it as somewhere in 41st St. Perhaps somebody forgot to proofread the maps this time.

OK but you don't need itAug 28, 2007 If you live near by and go frequently then maybe this book would be of use.
