Summary of Fodor's New York City 2009 (Full-Color Gold Guides)
Editorial ReviewExcerpt from New York Times 10/12/08
You may think of Fodor?s as dependably bland, but its ?New York City 2009? (Fodor?s Travel, 552 pages, $18.95) is the can?t-go-wrong choice for just about any first-timer to the Big Apple. First, it?s beautiful ? great layout, nice maps, easy-to-read font on thick paper. And design matters with guidebooks: they have to be legible in low light, on crowded buses and in airports when you?re jetlagged and your contacts are killing you.
The best way to break up this mammoth city is by neighborhood, and Fodor?s devotes about 200 pages to that task. The neighborhood guides pack information into breezy prose, and have sections like ?Where can I find ...?? which gives you two choices each for a coffee stop, ?a quick bite? or cocktails in each neighborhood, eliminating possible excuses for entering a Starbucks or McDonald?s. If you?re browsing in the bookstore and you want a quick sense of why Fodor?s stands out, look at their seven-page section on ground zero that starts on page 48 and somehow manages to explain the site and the history in depth while also hitting the right notes about the tragedy.
