Surprisingly inaccurate
More than half of the hotels I've checked have prices far different from the ranges listed in the Fodor's guide. I've been trying to use the hotel guide within this book, and have found tons of errors. I've also had trouble finding hotel websites, because the ones listed are not valid. I was very surprised at how frustrating a guide book could be. .

Great, useful!


I wish I bought this book first. I have in addition to Fodor's NYC 2007 the Frommers 2007 guide and Pauline Frommer's Guide to NYC. It is full of useful information and the way it's set out makes it much easier to read than the Frommers guides. It's organized in a much "neater" way which makes referring back certain pages very easy.

There are some attractions and tips which are not contained in this book however, which are found in my Frommers NYC 2007 guide. So having the two books makes for a good complete guide. .

Good resource
Frommer's is another resource, too. This is a good resource if you are thinking of visiting New York City.

However, this volume has a number of very important pluses. For one thing, there are well detailed maps of different parts of the city.

For another, there are very helpful maps of museums. For instance, the floor plan map of the American Museum of Natural History would be most useful for people wanting to explore this facility. Just so with a map of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And so on.

As with other publications, there are sections on hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc. Very well done in this volume. The problem, of course, is that there is much change. Restaurants come and go; the same with other facilities. Nonetheless, this volume provides enough depth that such matters are only secondary.

All in all, this is a good reference for those who are thinking of visiting New York City.
