Summary: Great book, but not for a first-time visitor
Comment: I bought this book along with the Frommer's 2008 guide for my first visit to NYC. Although I loved the included subway map and the way the book is organized, I didn't find it as helpful as a stand-alone book. I relied more on the Frommer's as a first-time visitor. I would recommend getting this book, but not for a first-time visitor. I am using it to plan my next trip to the city, though!

Summary: Everything you need to know when you change your shopping agenda
Comment: I carry this book with me always - to know where to find a store, or restaurant or subway stop when I'm in an unfamiliar part of town - priceless.

Summary: Without this book I'd be lost... probably somewhere in Brooklyn
Comment: I just moved to the city and have found this book to be a life saver! Because it's so small, I can always keep it in my purse and with the small neighborhood maps, I can keep it in there and read it on the subway without anybody knowing (because really, who has Not for Tourists but tourists??). Like some reviews have said, the index is a littel lacking, but if you use it like I do, you get to know where things are pretty quickly in the handy little black book! I would recomment it to anybody!

Summary: NFT New York 2008
Comment: What I love about this book is the compact size and relatively comprehensive information provided, given the small size. What I don't like is the teeny little font that my middle-aged eyeballs cannot see, but I am perfectly willing to pull out the reading glasses and/or magnifier to compensate.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Better than nothing (semi-useful)
Comment: I was just looking for something different than what this offers. The print is miniscule so you either have to have superman vision or be under 21 to easily read it. (Unless you carry a magnifying glass around NY with you...along with your umbrella, metro card, one dollar bills, cap, water bottle, room key, ID, garmin, cell phone, etc.) It has thousands of listings; mostly of places I wasn't looking for. It IS small and manageable. Something to read on the subway.
