Pauline Frommer is a proud native New Yorker, who enjoys nothing more than exploring her home town. That being said, she's also traveled the world, first with her guidebook writing parents, Arthur Frommer and Hope Arthur, and later with her own family. She was the founding editor of Frommers.com, served as editor of the travel section of MSNBC.com for two years, created the award-winning Pauline Frommer guidebooks and has written for numerous publications, from the Dallas Morning News to Weight Watchers to Nick, Jr. Currently, she co-hosts the nationally syndicated radio show "The Travel Show" on Clear Channel, pens an internationally syndicated newspaper column for King Features and is serving as the editorial director for the new Frommer guidebooks and the co-President of FrommerMedia LLC. She dedicated this book to her darling, and very patient daughters, Veronica and Beatrix.
