4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, practical and up-to-date, 10 Jun 2007
By Mark R. Bannister (London, England) - See all my reviews
  
Before travelling to Manhattan for the first time, I browsed a number of different travel guides for New York City, and decided on this one because of its clarity and authority. The guide is easy-to-use, packed full of useful information for travellers, and had everything I needed to know. I also found the maps were better and the information it gave more generally up-to-date and more thorough than the Lonely Planet guide.

It doesn't provide you with pre-planned walks, but you don't need that if you have well-written sections on each district, a guide on what not to miss, and clear maps. The walks I've seen in other guides I actually find limiting, because I want to wander off in directions not officially "on the walk".

The only problem I had with the guide was that occasionally the information I needed wasn't all in one place, which isn't in itself a problem, but could also sometimes be impossible to find more than once. They need to put some thought into simplifying navigation between the sections, to make it quicker and easier - but despite this gripe I still think this is the best guide out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost without it, 27 Nov 2007
By P. MCGEE (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I visited New York for the first time last Nov and I was given a mini rough guide to New York by a friend. I would have been lost without it.

It was a bible in my bag.

I am due to visit the big apple again in Jan and I decided to purchase the full rough guide to New York and I am not disappointed.

I have also order the mini rough guide to carry round New York when I get there.

The information contained within the book is well written and informative.

The maps at the back are a god's send and must not be under estimated in the overall picture and use of this product.

I would recommend this title to anyone wanting a comprehensive guide of New York.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed, 29 May 2007
This is my first Rough Guide book. I was a bit dissapointed. Although there is a lot of historical information compared to other guides regarding the monuments or areas, for practical information the guide is not very useful.
There are no suggested walks which would make the life much easier specially if your are there on a short stay. The maps for each area are oriented in different ways (north is not always up!) which makes following the streets between maps impossible. There are not estimated price range for the restaurants. The practical information is limited in two pages in small print almost at the end of the guide. The restaurants are in another section than the actual section for each area, without crossreference to pages which is a bit of a hussle. Finally, the citypass (a discount ticket for major attractions) is only mentioned in the adds section of the book.
In the future I might use the rough guide for information before the trip but not in situ.
