As a person who actually lives in Manhattan, I speak from the perspective of someone who is looking at the information to see if it is accurate to my experience and if it is easy to understand. As always, DK Eyewitness Travel Guides come through with shining colors. This series of travel guides are my absolute favorites. They are arranged in logical order (in this case by museums, theatre district, historical sites, etc.) and have enormous numbers of beautiful pictures to correspond with the text. Your interest is piqued by the colorful pictures and you are given all the pertinent information such as hours of operation, cost of tickets, or meals, and ways to reach your destination. Maps are always included using all of the various forms of transportation that are available in this magnificent city. No matter what you destination may be, DK Eyewitness Guides are always the best. This is the 2015 New York City Guide and as expected exceeds all possible hopes for any visitor to our wonderful town. Don’t leave home without it!
Great guide. Wonderfully detailed and beautifully illustrated. I used it more for research ahead of my trip rather than an actual carry around guide – though I did pack it and consulted it frequently from my hotel room. I’ve found books to be better for pre-trip research because they include EVERYTHING for one to filter through. With online research you tend to zero in on just the big attractions and miss some of the most interesting hidden gems because you just don’t know they’re there.
A nice feature of this guide is the tear-out laminated fold up map which I actually folded in half again and kept in my pocket for all my travels about town – it helped extend my smart-phone battery life. It shows every street and landmark yet it’s just big enough for older eyes. I only wish the subway portion of the map included Brooklyn. All in all the book served me well and I highly recommend it.
I received one of these as a gift back in 1995. It was my NYC Bible. It taught me almost everything I needed to know that I used for almost ten years of spending time in the city four times a year. Not having been in the city for ten years now, I wanted to make myself up to date and refresh my memory on several things, so I bought the 2015 edition. These DK books just keep getting better! If you’re planning a first time trip ANYWHERE there is a DK book for, BUY IT!!! They are very smartly put together, and durable as all getout. I’m sure you can use the large foldout map in the back cover at least a hundred times before it starts to show any wear. Every aspect, from the physical to the informational, of these books are top drawer. They are, simply put, beautiful books.
