Frommer's New York City 2026
Pauline Frommer's highly personal guide to her own home city has, in previous editions, twice been named 'Best Guidebook of the Year' by the North American Travel Journalists Association. Her book has been New York City’s top-selling guide for the last decade. It's published in full colour, with dozens of engaging, helpful photos, and colour maps.
Pauline Frommer started traveling with her guidebook-writing parents at the age of four months and hasn't stopped since. She is the Editorial Director for the Frommer Guidebooks and Frommers.com, as well as author of what has been the bestselling guidebook to her hometown since its first edition. Her first job in travel was on the website Frommers.com, and eventually she worked her way up to Editor in Chief. 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).
For four years, Pauline created weekly travel segments for CNN's Headline News and CNN's Pipeline. You may also have seen her talking travel on The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight, Good Morning America, FOX News. She resides in New York City with her husband, Columbia University Professor Mahlon Stewart and two very well-traveled daughters.
