I loved the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, so was excited to find this Unofficial Guide to New York City. I didn't like this one as much.
It gave good descriptions and information on the famous attractions and suggested how much time to allow for each - I really liked that.
After looking at other guides (after having purchased this one) I found a couple of features that I would have really liked:
Fodor's and Frommer's both have a nice, sturdy separate map that goes from Harlem south. Eyewitness travel has a map section more like a Thomas guide that was fantastic.
Frommer's had a few suggested itineraries that were helpful.
While all the guides have decent restaurant sections - UG dedicating the most pages (100!), the other guides also had a page or two of lists that categorized the restaurants by area , price, cuisine, etc. that I thought was helpful.
All in all, the guide was a great benefit to me on my first trip to NYC, but a combination of the different guides would have been better.
