Summary: Great Map!!
Comment: This map is terrific for getting around Manhattan and using the subway system. Very easy to use and read.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: No Cross Streets
Comment: The map guide is a nice compact New York City-only version of the larger Let's Go guide for the USA, plus some very handy laminated maps. Its easy to carry this one around and not look like a tourist. The sights picked, often have a good local sensibility about them, in that they may not be typical touristy places. All the Map guides are great, but this one dissapointed because it never listed cross streets for addresses (a must for most new york cabbies)

Summary: Excellent to have - looking for 1999's guide
Comment: What we found most useful in the guide is its geographic listing - after attending an event or touring NYC, one can flip through the guide and find one of the many great restaurants in a nearby neighborhood, use your cell phone to call and make a reservation. The ratings and reviews of the food and ambience appear to be more accurate than other guides. We had so more more luck eating in great restaurants using Marcellino's book. Looking for 1999's version, and keep 1998's until then.

Summary: "Big Apple" definition in NYC book is all wrong!
Comment: PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK (OR ANY LET'S GO BOOK). Professor Gerald Cohen and I solved "the Big Apple." There is a Big Apple Corner street sign & plaque at W. 54th & Broadway, and we've been in other travel books. The book has the old jazz "Big Apple" theory and never mentions horseracing and John J. Fitz Gerald, who popularized the term in the 1920s. Buy other guides instead.EN
