Title: Small, great info. Missing time estimates. Some info out of date.
Review: Post COVID, not all business survived. So look for a new edition if buying. We had the 6th Edition.It wasnt the end of the world for the out of date info, since even Google Maps isnt accurate of a business's operation status.Also, for the walking tours - time estimates (even for just the walk) would be very useful. Saves the hassle of putting it into google maps to get it, just so one can see how to fit it into schedule.Overall, we used this book the most on our trip, and the small size allowed us to bring in our small pack.Highly recommend. (esp. if author makes a 7th edition with this feedback!)

Title: Buy this for the NYC Manhattan map inside!
Review: Planned a mother-daughter NYC trip in December. I bought this so I would have a paper map to reference in regard to sites, subway maps, etc. I referenced it multiple times each day - so incredibly helpful! Way better than using the map on my phone. There were some good suggestions in the book about where to go and what to do. However, I mainly used the internet for my trip planning, not this book. However, the map was FANTASTIC! Highly, highly recommend!

Title: Good if you like quickie lists
Review: This isn't super complete but it is helpful in giving you lists of popular things. Also, no help in terms of the subway system, so points off for that.

Title: Great for travel!
Review: I purchased this guide, thinking that it would be a back-up to online research while on our trip to NYC. Turns out, online research was clunky, ad-saturated and frustrating, whereas the guide was clear and concise and well researched. The maps were spot on, and I’d suggest this to anyone traveling to New York.My only regret is that we didnt use it for the food section, relying on our hotels to provide info on great places to eat. Turns out the hotels dont have very good suggestions, and we had some mediocre food. Based on my experience with the rest of the guide, I think we missed out on some good dining suggestions!

Title: It has everything you need in one spot
Review: I had been to NY over 10 yrs ago and my husband never had. It was exactly what we needed. It had the little places I remembered and the big stuff my husbad wanted to see. Can you find this stuff online? Sure, but it's great to have suggestions, pre-planned day suggestions and when you're traveling through the subway, you don't have wifi, so it's great to look through while sitting on the train. It's worth it.2 tips I learned from my trip:1. Buy tickets in advance. Everything from the any TV show filmed there, to the major broadway shows, to any of the amazing monuments will be sold out by the time you get there.2. Buy a collapsible portable stool! My husband gave me a lot of crap for spending $30 on something he was sure I would end up carrying around not using. By the end of the first day he was eyeing me like he was ready to mug me for it. There is NO WHERE TO SIT most of the time and when there is, you don't want to sit there. Waiting for trains, in lines, heck on the street when you just need a moment. It is the best $30 I ever spent on amazon and that's saying something. MUST HAVE.Good luck and travel safely!
