4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it!, 24 Jan 2005
By Jo Summers "slugabedz" (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After booking my trip to New York I found myself unable to resist buying books on the place and bought the Brit's Guide, the Mini Rough Guide and the AA Spiral Guide to help me pick and choose what I wanted to do. I have to say I deliberately avoided the Time Out guide because of the review I read on this website; even though I was very much impressed by the Las Vegas guide I bought a few years earlier. Still, the temptation was too much and, as I was looking for a "hip" type of guide book, I went ahead and bought it anyway and I'm very glad I did.

I found that the book's sections were just the right size - you've got a small section on the 'history of NY' which is very well written, a small section on 'accommodation', a reasonably sized section on 'sightseeing' - half of which is about Manhattan, a quarter is the outer boroughs and the other quarter is on museums, a large section on 'eat, drink, shop and party', a large section on 'arts and entertainment' and, of course, the necessary directory and maps at the back!

I can't comment on the hotel section that another reviewer has mentioned as I picked my hotel after much research on the internet however I think the rest of the book which I did use is well laid out and very informative. I particularly bought it to check out the nightlife of NYC which I found very useful.

If you are familiar with the other Time Out books then you will know that this book is written from a point of view as if the writer has been there and needs to tell you the essential information about the place you are visiting and any hints about what to do or expect when you get there.

All in all, I liked this book. True, I wouldn't use it as my only guide book. I found the other three that I bought equally as useful; The Brit's Guide is a great guide, very informative with very handy hints from a Brit's point of view, The Mini Rough Guide tells you about the more dodgy/less dodgy areas of the place and is very good for your handbag and the AA Spiral guide gives you great information about sightseeing and gives you ideas about how to fill the days that you are there. If you are only after information about sightseeing then I probably wouldn't buy the Time Out guide (hence only 4 stars!) but if you want honest information about where to eat, drink, shop, party and generally be entertained then this is definitely the guide for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chock-full of info, specially aimed at the twenty-somethings, 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: "Time Out" New York Guide ("Time Out" Guides) (Paperback)
I found this one much better than the Lonely Planet format - which is odd as I am usually a fan of LP. So much info - not only about what's on and where to be entertained, but also I found how thorough the writers were regarding accomodation, especially the budget types to be very appealing. I was surprised at how into depth they went into regarding the history of NYC too - for a publication primarily based on living and entertainment (like TONY and Time Out London), it was surpringly comprehensive, and made me want to explore the city even more.

The inclusion of the confusing NYC subway map is a help, and the many colour maps there proved much better than LP, Rough Guide and Let's Go.

A really good book, and worth the extra couple of pounds for sure!

2.0 out of 5 stars A cobbled together 'also-ran', 5 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I made the mistake of buying this guide having been very impressed with the TimeOut guide to Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Unfortunately this guide seems more like TimeOut trying to squeeze as much mileage as possible out of their brand-name with little thought as to the finished product.

The guide gives one no real flavour of New York and includes some very dubious recommendations. For instance, it recommends several hotels which are little more than flop houses.

I would recommend buying the 'BlackBook List' as a much better alternative.
