Discover The Best of New York City
Content from Frommer's New York City 2010 We all have our personal tastes: what we like to listen to in terms of music, what kind of food we enjoy, what we relate to in art and architecture. Personal taste is a subjective matter, and I (Brian) only pay attention to raves, whether they are for a restaurant, artist, musician, or film, if they are universal. If everyone likes it, it has to be good. Well, not always. Anyway, we’ve (Brian Silverman, Kelsy Chauvin and Richard Goodman) compiled our personal favorites below…for what we can call the “best of” in many areas from experiences to restaurants. You may not agree, but that’s what makes these “best of” lists fun. Just don’t take them too seriously.

Compared to older travel guides that are composed of hundreds of pages of solid text, opening Frommer's Color New York City is like discovering a party -- nearly every two-page spread is livened with a map, color photo, or sidebar. To be clear, it isn't like the lush DK Eyewitness series (which is image-heavy at the expense of information), but rather very much like the Fodor's Full Color Gold series.
It's a complete guide to planning a trip, with sections detailing NYC history, boroughs and neighborhoods; hotels, bars and restaurants (limited to those most evocative of NYC -- readers are referred to the Internet for chains); sites, attractions and shopping; suggested itineraries and getting around; and a pull-out map (waterproof and durable). While Fodor's seems a little more lush and professional, this Frommer's seems a little more personal and practical -- and, for me, preferable. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Great books, even for new yorkers! (better for families), This review is from: Frommer's New York City 2010 (Frommer's Color Complete) (Paperback) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Me and my wife had moved to the big apple about two years ago, and own pretty much all of the tour guides on the subject.
As loyal fans of the lonely planet series, we had a really hard time believing that this book will have something new to offer,however, we were pleasantly surprised! The Book's 486 pages are filled with great up-to-date information including very specific maps and excellent itineraries, for example: new york in 1,2 and 3 days, other boroughs in a day and many more to suit every desire! this book is very well suited for families and people traveling with children since it offers everything from entertainment and food for families. The first chapter is the itineraries and the 'top' everythings, and the next few chapters go in depth on how to plan a trip and how to get around in the city. The book continues to describe the neighborhoods, along with suggested itineraries, and finishes off with a list of after dark activities, shopping and a...Read more 10 of 12 people found the following review helpful:  Really depends on what you want out of travel guide (3.5 stars), By This review is from: Frommer's New York City 2010 (Frommer's Color Complete) (Paperback) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Most people by now are probably familiar to Frommers travels guides. When using travel guides for short visits, there are three criteria I think are important for having a useful guide. The first is content, the second is arrangement of content, and the third is visuals.
Frommers have always had great content for people visiting places where they want to see the major sites. If you are going to live in said place, I would recommend something more detailed to local life and less centered around major attractions, but for most vacations, Frommers covers content pretty well with some background/history and good coverage of attractions. You will get some basic descriptions of attractions which should be somewhat adequate for the decision making process. It seems like this new Frommer's 2010 book actually has shorter descriptions then books in the past but perhaps that's because of the new color pictures. Frommer's now have color pictures which are sporadic and ofter at...Read more |
