Summary: Great book!
Comment: I just returned from my trip to NYC. This little book proved to be well worth the money. It was well organized and easy to use. I did a few of the suggested neighbourhood walks and they were great. I did not try any of the retaurant recommendations though, but in NYC there is so many food options they can only really scratch the surface in a book like this. I did check out several of the attractions and enjoyed all of them. Lonely Planet hits another one out of the park!

Summary: Lonely Planet - Useful, as always11
Comment: I've always used Lonely Planet travel guides in my travels. There's way more to NYC than a guidebook could ever cover but Lonely Planet did a great job as it always does. It's always good to know that I can trust LP to provide the basic information regarding how to get to/from the airport, transportation around the city as well as other information regarding sights and restaurants.

Summary: Good guide, but double-check the maps
Comment: I had to buy this book at the last minute, due to the fact that I wasn't contented with the format and information that New York (Eyewitness Travel Guides) had, which I borrowed from a friend. And I was fairly contented with the amount of information that LP has for this book. It has a detailed coverage of Manhattan and its neighborhoods, and it covers areas outside Manhattan more extensively than the other book.
The one complaint I have about this edition is that they do not double-check the maps. The map at p. 282 especially is at fault. For example, the Majestic Theater is at w 44th St. but the map lists it as somewhere in 41st St. Perhaps somebody forgot to proofread the maps this time.

Summary: OK but you don't need it
Comment: If you live near by and go frequently then maybe this book would be of use.

Summary: Complete NYC guide
Comment: Typical LP style guide, it contains interesting city tours and brief descriptions of many touristic and non touristic spots in the city.

Written by three New Yorkers with opinionated takes on the city they love, this guide will help visitors navigate their way like a local. It includes expanded coverage of midtown Manhattan, the East Village, Harlem, and Brooklyn and boasts a four-color, waterproof pull-out map of the city.
