Editorial Review:

Whether or not this is your first visit to the city, the AA's Spiral Guide makes for a good travelling companion. Though small enough to fit into your rucksack pocket, it squeezes in 200 fact-filled pages, including glossy fold-out maps, a 28 page "magazine", chapters on Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building and Central Park and a useful section on practicalities, such as currency and foreign exchange, consulate contact info and tips on travelling with a disability. --Daren King

A must have for visiting NYC! (0/0 people found this helpful)

This is a fantastic guide to the Big Apple and made my visit so much easier by providing all the info I needed to plan my vacation. There is a brilliant transport guide at the back covering subway routes as well as a street guide that made navigating the city a breeze.

If you're planning on visiting NYC, I would recommend taking this with you at all times as you never know when you're going to run into something you'll want to revisit and this guide made it so easy to keep track of where I'd been.

Excellent (7/7 people found this helpful)

I cannot enthuse enough about this guide. Bought on a whim whilst waiting for my flight, I read it cover to cover on the way over. Full of useful concise information with an easy-to-read layout (and the street and subway maps were god-sends!). We saw and did a lot more things with the help of this book (so thank you AA!).
When we got back to the UK we had to laugh - in most of our photo's from the trip, there is someone with their head in this book!

New York, New York (7/7 people found this helpful)

I wouldnt go anyway without my spiral guide and this holiday was no exception (Visited New York indepentely Oct 2003).

I converted to these guides some three years ago. I love the layout and siz of the guide - fits in your pocket nicely. It has a splashproof cover and the two flaps make great bookmarkers.

As for the contents, for this trip I found there was enough information for the larger tourist areas to point me in the right direction.

These guides are much easier to read than Lonely Planet if you want a good (but still comprehensive) overview.
I particuarly love the hints and tips for the 'must sees'.

Would highly recommend this guide - dont go without one

Witty, smart, delightful (8/8 people found this helpful)

My husband and I brought 3 guidebooks to New York but continually found ourselves using the Spiral guide. It's witty, smart, delightfully written and packed with historical tidbits. In the front are some short pieces, like magazine articles, about New York skyscrapers, old and new movies that have been shot in the city, old-time foods you can still buy or the great riots that have taken place. You get a real feel for New York's past and present, but it doesn't seem like a stodgy history. My husband and I really loved this book, and we're picky.
