Fabulous guide to help plan a fabulous trip!

I bought this book because of the title and I was not disappointed. The information is organized into sections like where to eat, where to sleep, where to shop, etc. and each section has an introduction and run-down of what to expect. Each section is broken down further, like where to eat if you want to spot celebrities and which hotels charge for the toiletries in the rooms. There is a section about the neighborhoods of NYC that is very honest and tells the first time traveler to NY the difference between the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side and Chelsea and SoHo (also how SoHo got its name). Very helpful and honest guide that also includes maps of the hotels, clubs, restaurants, and attractions that it highlights.
