Fodor's has done good by NYC here. This tome is packed with juicy tid-bits throughout. If you 'Need A Break?' during your walking, there are literally hundreds of highlighted cafes, corner deli's, candy shops, and bakaries for you to peruse-separated by neighborhood and borough. This book is divided into different chapters, the first dealing mainly with Manhattan and its different neighborhoods. Want to visit the grill/movie studio owned by actor Robert De Niro? It's in here. Want to visit the former homes of any number of famous New Yorkers? Or the bar in which poet Dylan Thomas supposedly drank himself to death? The restaurants where Hemingway and others wrote? Prohibition-era speakeasy's? All these and much more are expounded upon.There is a dizzying array of info on museums, nightclubs, music clubs, restaurants, transit systems, and tours. My wife and I have been devouring this book in the months before our trip to NYC. It has been a blast. The beginning of the book also includes some nice color photography of various key sights and Fodor's has done readers a great service by listing its 'moments not to miss' on one page (things like where to be for a great sunset or the most romantic restaurant etc.).Also helpful are numerous itineraries for walking tours based on a 3 day or 5 day trip to NYC. The inside cover includes a checklist of items to cover in the months up to your trip (reservations, finances etc.)After returning from our trip, my wife and I can say that this book was a MASSIVE help to us. We carried it around in our bag and stopped each day once or twice to review it as we walked around. A great resource.

Wow!

Absoluetly a GREAT BOOK! From the pull out map, to the pictures this book is just jam packed with information!It includes categories such as: The Arts, Lodging, Nightlife, Shopping, and many more. Everything you need to know about the greatest city in the world is in this book!Perhaps one of my favorite things about this book is that it has up to the date website information. I was able to purchase many of my tickets for attractions in advance thanks to this feature which allowed me to avoid long lines.Other great features include addresses and telephone numbers, fax numbers, admission prices, and opening hours. Never worry about not having enough $$ or arriving too late to find the attraction closed.Use this book as your guide and you are guaranteed to have a wonderful visit to NYC!

All you need to know about NYC

This guidebook gives you all the information you will need for a fun weekend--or week--in NYC. It even includes sample itineries to help you map out a course that won't have you running around the city confused. Leave the rest of the guidebooks at home. This one is all you need.

It has everything!!!

Anything and everything you want to know, see, and hear about New York. I'd be lost in New York without it. It even suggests schedules to go by so you don't miss out on the good stuff. It's great! Well worth for the low price.

A very precise guide to NYC!

I have wanted to learn about the hottest spots in Manhattan, and Fodor's New York City 2000 was very helpful. In addition to having found some great clubs and restaurants, I was also able to find great and affordable areas in which I can shop without maxing out my credit cards. Also, there are tips on how to protect yourself when taking the subway train late at night. The information in this book is precise and very informative. I highly recommend this book, especially if you're thinking about moving to New York City.
