Forget the 'Rough Guides', Lonely Planet is brilliant! I took this to NYC and found it invaluable. The maps are really easy to use and I love the little narratives at the front. I've gone back to this book loads of times since getting back, and have found new places that I wish I'd have gone to. I'm planning on going back in September, and this time we're going to Philadelphia (only a 2 hour bus trip from NYC), there's great information about excursions in the back of this book too if you're there for long enough. Enjoy NYC, just don't forget your comfy shoes!!!

We were lucky enough to be able to travel to NYC from the UK and only wi th a few weeks notice. With this in mind I quickly purchased the most up to date copy a guide I could find and started reading. I reckon it's best to take a good luck at the maps (detatchable ones in back) and orientate yourself with the main sights and places to go. Then scan the book and list what you would like to see and then plan your days accordingly and go visit these places. There is lots of info for any place you can think of so just read up before you go. Good value, also speak to as many New Yorkers as you can and ask them what to see and where to go, they're very friendly and helpful. Enjoy NYC!

I went to New York recently for the first time and had this guide with me. My friend had the Times New York guide. Together they worked out fine but without one or other, we would have struggled.
The positives about this book is that it has been published very recently. The old favourites like Statute of Liberty don't change but because of recession and gentrification much of the city is changing and this book is good on Brooklyn and other more cultural areas. It has detailed passages on the history of many attractions and contains very good maps for orienation.
The negatives. I would have liked more pictures. It would have been nice to have the shopping, eating and visiting sections for each area in the same place rather than having to flick back and forth to see what to visit and then having to go to another section to seen nearby areas to eat.
I think there are few books that would probably manage to cover all of New York well but this makes a decent stab.

NYC in your pocket!
A guide that fulfills the needs of the average tourist. Compact but detailed, typical "lonely planet". Proposed without second thoughts to anyone who visits NYC for the first time!

Lonely Planet NYC Guide
The book is not as helpful as I expected. I am sure that it is very good for some visitors to New York City, but has far too much detail for our 5-day visit to New York.
