Rezensionen / Stimmen
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 FrommerMedia 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. For a fuller treatment of New York City (researched after the lockdowns), there's Frommer's New York City 2024." - Los Angeles Times

Pauline also served as Travel Editor for MSNBC.com for several years, before working with John Wiley and Sons to create the award-winning Pauline Frommer Guidebooks, a 14-book series that won the coveted "Best Guidebook of the Year" title three years in a row from the North American Travel Journalists Association (and once from the Society of American Travel Writers).
