[Rochelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This guide was very valuable on my trip last week to New York. It had most everything a first- time visitor would want to see, with great explanations and without sounding being a dry read. The size is great too; I wouldn't have wanted anything bigger or heavier. The only thing I would have liked better is if the MTA subway map was inside the book and not on the pullout map. I didn't use the pullout map because its soooo indescreet and is like a red flag that you're a helpless tourist which is not something you want to advertise.

Flipped through a lot of travel guides, loved the maps & the realistic advice in this one. Perfect supplement for planning a quick trip to NYC

The subway maps could be better finding the A C and E line.
