5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you could need to know about visiting New York, 19 Feb 2003
By M Hales (Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mini Rough Guide to New York City (Miniguides) (Paperback)
This was my bible when visiting New York for the first time! It's small enough to fit in your handbag yet so packed with information that i felt lost without it! It lists resteraunts, tourist attractions, shops, markets, museums, attractions for children, scenic places to visit and lots more. This guide lets you in on secrets that you would not find out from other guides. It tells you the best time to visit places, when certain attractions are on, prices, adresses and a brief background of the place. It also includes a map of Manhatten and a subway map, which are all very vital when you are searching for that well earned Krispy Kreme store!
A must have guide for anyone visiting New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic !, 8 Jul 2002
By T. Middleton "book worm" (Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mini Rough Guide to New York City (Miniguides) (Paperback)
Having read the 'Rough Guide' full version, I was half expecting a lot of the information in the mini guide to be left out, but oh contrare, it was still packed with loads of information,and in a more realistic package for those of us who don't have a year to see everything ! It's a great size for reference, fitting snuggly in your pocket, so your head is not constantly in your book missing the sights and sounds going on around you !

I was very impressed, and the maps are very clear and precise.

Once again, as always, the rough guide team have done a fantastic job - Well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just the right amount of detail, 5 Nov 2002
By M. Worsey-Buck (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Mini Rough Guide to New York City (Miniguides) (Paperback)
Before heading off to New York for a week's sightseeing and shopping, I read this guide from cover to cover (well, nearly) and wrote down all the things I wanted to see. I'm a firm believer in planning holidays so that you don't waste an hour each morning deciding what you're going to do. I found the Mini Rough Guide had just enough information for the first-time visitor with only a week to see the city. Any more detail, and I would have been swamped and not got around to finishing it.

It mentions some great places to see, and not just the major tourist attractions that we've all seen or heard about before, like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, but also some out of the way places and interesting buildings that you might want to pop into and have a look at on your way down the street.

If you've been to New York before and have seen all the touristy things, or have more than a couple of weeks up your sleeve, it describes various districts within NYC in enough detail to allow you to spend the morning exploring an area in great detail, describing the history of the area and some interesting facts about various streets and buildings.

I found that the restaurant section was a little limited, giving only one or two restaurants in each area and in each food type. But I suppose it is a Mini Rough Guide and if they put all the restaurants in New York City in this guide, it would be as big as the Yellow Pages.

Overall - Informative, interesting, brief and too the point, and doesn't weigh too much
