Good Things on Every Page

While I was still living in New York I used this book extensivly. That was about a year ago. Let me tell ya me and my friends had a great time using this book. We found great bargains and places to hang out. If I were in New York still I would by the new book edition. Not because this one is out dated but because I want more.

Read it...it works!

For Christmas, last year, we gave our youngest son, Kerry a trip to NYC. He has ask to go for years. This is one of the books that we got, to allow Kerry to map out his trip. We had a limited amount of money and he got to choose how we spent it. We used Mr. Cheaps advice on hotels and found ourselves at this wonderful hotel, in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Our room was huge, by NYC standards, complete with a marble bath. So what if the complementary newspaper was in Italian. The Jolley is a chain owned by Italians. Kerry was mighty impressed. The location allowed us to use the subway, or walk saving us even more money.These books are well written. This guy knows his towns. Lots of stuff that only locals usually know. Gave me enough savy to have a great time in NYC. Kerry and I had four great days in NYC. In no small part thanks to Mr. Cheap!

Organized, well written, concise

We found a very inexpensive hotel in the heart of Manhattan. We were a little nervous until we arrived and found the hotel to be clean, friendly and best of all - cheap! We did not have to give up any of the amenities we usually have in hotels to have an inexpensive room. He had sections of the city divided up and it was easy to follow.
