Lonely Planet provides full-service guides in a candid, compact style, and that's what David Ellis's Lonely Planet New York City guide delivers, attending diligently to every topic any New York visitor might possibly need or desire. For the New York novice, there are all the elementary details, such as tourist offices, embassies, money, post offices, electricity, laundry, where to get maps, and primary radio frequencies. Resources are listed for gay and lesbian travellers, as well as for women, seniors, disabled travellers, and families travelling with children. Special events are enumerated, plus good New York Web sites and where to turn in case of emergencies. And that's just one small section of the book. There are also chapters on New York history, climate, geography, and politics; practical details on getting there by air, bus, train, car, motorcycle, boat, and hitchhiking; and getting around the city by subway, bus, taxi, car, and bicycle.
Then comes the heart of the guide, with comprehensive attention to what there is to see and do in Manhattan's many neighbourhoods and outer boroughs; where to stay, eat, and shop; all manner of entertainment, from horse racing and hockey to dance clubs, opera, and bars; as well as an assortment of excursions throughout Long Island, the Hudson Valley, and New Jersey. With an architectural glossary, an extensive index, and an excellent collection of maps, this guide is a thorough New York resource. --Stephanie Gold -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Having been to New York City in June, I had got lots of guide books before. Out of them, Lonely Planet's Guide not only became my favourite one because it fit exactly into the rear pocket of my trousers (so I didn't have to open my backpack everytime I wanted to look up something). It also was the most comprehensive guide with up-to-date information (besides the prizing, but the inter-prize-correlation seemed to be correct). The city maps and subway maps were very useful to find your way through NYC. I also enjoyed the recommanded walking tours a lot, because following these guidelines, one was able to see the world famous sites as well as some really nice places "off the beaten track". The introductory chapters (brief history, general travellers' information) were also worth reading. As a conclusion I would recommand this book to all New York travellers!

Mit insgesamt 4 Reisefuehrern (davon 3 deutsche) war ich im April 2000 fuer 7 Tage in New York. Lonely Planet New York City ist fuer die selbstaendige Stadterkundung am besten geeignet. Die anderen Fuehrer waren eher bzgl. des "Abhakens" von Attraktionen optimiert. Das Kartenmaterial und die U-Bahn Plaene sind gut und haben sich im taeglichen Einsatz bewaehrt. Die probierten Restauranttipps waren bzgl. Ambiente usw. korrekt. Die Angaben zu Preisen sind veraltet und ca. 50% zu niedrig- das aber konsistent. Das Buch ist in einem verstaendlichen Englisch geschrieben.

This is one of the more comprehensive travel guides to New York that I have found. It includes lots of vital information on transportation and clear, helpful maps, which I found invaluable on my trip to the city. There was also a great deal of information of interest to visitors from outside the US, which I found interesting.
The sections on the outer buroughs are a little brief, but most tourist visitors to the city are probably more interested in Manhattan anyhow. A great travel guide, but if you're a resident or planning on moving to New York, another book might be more helpful.
