Never had a bad Let's Go

Hey Barry, I'm thinking that by now your incessant and bothersome needling to the people at Let's Go is amusing to them, hence they don't want to change their "Big Apple" falsehood just because they know it irritates you. Relax man, why don't you go down to Bowery Bar and have a Manhattan! Other readers: check out the comments by Barry A. Popik to understand what I'm talking about. Anyway, regardless of this small detail, I've traveled with many Let's Go books and have never been disappointed.

I am untravelled, unexperienced with city life, and un-financially blessed. Let's Go was my bible in NYC last winter and I had a grand ol' time. Between my pals and I we had like 800 guide books, and Let's Go had by far the most readable, most helpful maps. The fact that its written by poor students (with wit and style) helps too. A good mix of traditional tourist activities with "undiscovered" budget happenings.

I bought this guide after looking at numerous others, and this is still the one that I liked the most. Maybe it's b/c I'm a college student on a tight budget, but the Let's Go guides are lifesavers. I skimmed thru the Frommer guide before buying this one and that was just too boring for my taste. Let's Go tells you the truth and what you would really find in nyc. Before your trip, you can use it to map out your entire schedule if you wanted to, which was great b/c it included sites that ppl like me would actually want to visit.

"Revised" with errors!

In 1997, I dedicated "Big Apple Corner" at Broadway and West 54th Street. NYC is called this because of John J. Fitz Gerald's horseracing columns in the 1920s. Almost all other guidebooks have this correct. I have personally mailed and e-mailed LET'S GO for over four years! For getting "Big Apple" information wrong for the fifth straight year, this gets a one star review. Please, LET'S GO, e-mail me, correct your work, and I won't have to write this again next year!

Usually my problem with Let's Go is there's so few changes from year to year. This time, they've totally revamped the format, but the result is unorganized and less informative. It just seems like there's less *stuff* in it. Some lame pictures, arranged largely by topic instead of neighborhood (boo!), some walking maps that don't indicate mileage. That said, it's still the best choice if you're looking to travel cheap or if you're younger, or both. A major improvement is more extensive coverage of the boroughs outside of Manhattan. It's still worth its small price, but I'd get another, more traditional guide book as well.
