Lonely Planet New York City (Travel Guide)

We have used Lonely Planet guides for over 20 years. Through 2018, they all had the same helpful format: every site description included the name, address, web address, phone number, hours and days of opening, cost and map reference in book. Eateries and lodging in the vicinity were included in the same section. This 2024 version on New York City has NO information about location, hours, cost etc. NONE!!! To find the location of a museum, eatery or monument, you have to look for it on a map (which may not be on a nearby page) or go online. I researched "what happened to Lonely Planet" and discovered that new ownership and reduced staff omit the basic information that made the guides so valuable. The maps have streets in light grey tiny print which make it difficult to figure out the location of places. All in all a pretty useless book. Won't be buying any more "updated" Lonely Planets. Try Frommer's or other guides.

I read this book on my flight out to NYC and was able to easily plan a whole week's of activities, easy to read, includes a map, divides up sections of NYC to help planning, 10/10.

TOTAL UNBRAUCHBAR !!! Offensichtlich neues Konzept von LP, funktioniert aber so meiner Meinung nach defintiv nicht! Früher konnte man einen Urlaub mit LP gut vorher gut planen, heute aber nicht mehr. Ohne Angaben von Öffnungszeiten von Restaurants etc. macht der Reiseführer aus meiner Sicht keinerlei Sinn mehr, das kann das Internet besser. Daher defintiv keine Kaufempfehlung.NYC Besser einen anderen (analogen) Reiseführer kaufen oder im Internet planen

Well laid out and up to date

This is must have if you are planning to go to NY. I have not used this in NY just yet but it has helped tremendously with planning my trip. There are loads of "hidden gems" and local knowledge crammed in. I like how the book is laid out in each section for each area of NY. The thing I like the most is that there are loads of QR codes to take you to the websites for the most up to date prices and opening times.

Good for planning a trip to New York
