Editorial Reviews

• New York City can be an intimidating place for visitors. But travel expert Pauline Frommer is here to help.  - The Washington Post

• How to travel better, smarter and cheaper:  For an affordable New York hotel, consult Pauline. That would be Pauline Frommer of Frommers.com, who lives in Manhattan and makes it her business to check out the city’s cheap-ish hotels herself. It’s a tough job–the average daily rate eclipsed $300 over the summer, and she’s on the lookout for rates below that. But this is the bargain hunger whose dad, Arthur, wrote the original “Europe on $5 a Day” in 1957. Her latest assessment is on Frommers.com. For a fuller treatment of New York City (researched after the lockdowns), there’s Frommer’s New York City 2024.” - Los Angeles Times
