"I try to do long weekends for a little rest and relaxation. Now that I'm aware of this series, I've decided to invest a little time and money to pick up some of these to enrich those mini-vacations.
One future trip will be to New York City. And the Eyewitness Travel "New York" surely looks like a good companion for such a trip. As with the "Eyewitness Companions" series (another DK publication), this volume begins with background on "The Big Apple." "Introducing New York" provides a brief history of New York as well as other interesting minutiae to ground one, including a segment on the "Skyline" of Manhattan.
After that, it is an exploration of Manhattan (outside of a few references such as restaurants elsewhere); this is a Manhattan-centric work. I'll go over a few of these to provide a flavor for the book. First, "The Theater District." There are some nice maps (e.g., the map on pages 142-143 of Times Square) that lay out key sites, from restaurants to museums to cool buildings to other sites. For the Times Square area, the map shows where Sardi's is located, where key theaters and hotels are placed, as well as other places. Other parts of the coverage of this area discuss Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, Carnegie Hall, etc.
Or "Lower Midtown." A photo of the Chrysler Building starts this section. There is a street level map, showing some of the highlights of the area (Grand Central Terminal, Helmsley Building, Tudor City, and the UN). Another section? "Upper East Side." One feature is a lot of museums--the Guggenheim Museum, the Jewish Museum, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Frick Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Man, I love visiting there!).
Later on, there are a series of guided tours that the reader can take on his or her own (e.g., a 90 minute walk in the Lower East Side), a listing of recommended hotels to stay at, and a set of restaurants and bard that one might try.
All in all, this is fun reading, even if one does not plan to visit New York City. And, if co, this promises to be a fine resource."
"Read this book front to back before my first trip to NYC. Really helped me to learn about the NY way of doing things. Took it with me on the trip and used it often."
"DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are THE best guides ever! For anytime, for anywhere, THESE are the books you need! Awesome, portable size, awesome info, and great picts all included."
