Best travel guides October 23, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
To me these travel guides are the best you can get. It gets straight to the point, tells you enough history and the guide has a brillant, easy to use layout. I have a number of these for various cities and haven't been disappointed yet.
Small, but full of useful information :) September 3, 2006

I visited NYC for the first time a few weeks ago. I took only three books about this city with me: this guide, the "Lonely planet NYC Guide", and "The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide". Truth to be told, this guide is probably the only one I couldn't have done without.
"Top 10 New York" is an extremely useful small guide that doesn't have as much information as the "Lonely planet NYC Guide", but that has the essentials, and excellent fold out maps in color that are more easily understandable than those of other guides. I would like to highlight the fact that even though I am very absent minded, I could easily find my way in NYC thanks to those maps. And if I can, everybody will be able to do that!
From my point of view, this guide is ideal for those tourists that don't have a lot of time, and want to see as much as possible during their visit to NYC (specifically Manhattan), if possible without a tourist guide. "Top 10 New York" points out quite a few places you simply must go to in the city, but also tells you about different neighbourhoods, and their history. There are many photos in color that help you to decide what you want to do, and historic data that allows you to learn about this city.
Moreover, most visitors will find the insider tips for tourists helpful, and the planned walks and itineraries a good option. Other useful sections in this guide are, for example, "Best shopping districts", "Best hotels for every budget" (I found my hotel through Internet, though), "Best restaurants in each area" and "Most fun places for children". What is more, "Top 10 New York" is almost pocket-sized, so you can carry it with you everywhere, even if your purse is tiny (not my case!), or if you have bought too many things and your handbag is rather heavy (yes, that often happens to me).
All in all, I am very happy I bought this guide, and I strongly recommend it to you :)

Handy carry along guide to the big apple April 20, 2006

This is a bang up to date version of the successful travel guides, with all the latest on the Big Apple.
These guides are very handy if you are only in these cities for a few days. This one gives a good overview of the neighborhoods and then counts doen the top 10 "attractions" or "must sees". It then goes into top 10 everything you need to know - hotels, restaurants, shops etc.
Stick in your back pocket or bag and I swear you'll make sense of, and get round this fantastic city in no time.
I've also picked up copies on Barcelona, Rome and Paris, and they're all great.
However if you want something more in depth, you'll need to look to the larger city guides at something like twice / three times the price. But will you use them on a city break?

Another sterling travel book out of this stable. New York is so vast that with this book its easy to break it down to digestable chunks. The updated review of the ground zero area was the most useful section likewise the tips on getting around on the bus and metro. This was the first time I'd been to New York and felt that I didnt have to rely on taxis everywhere. The book was a hit for me

This book is the best guide book I have seen for New York. It tells you everything and you need a month in New York to fit it all in. It's definitely worth taking with you and is a handy size too.
