I've highlighted some of the coupons in the 2006 edition of the book to make determining whether the book offers you a good value easier. Full price on the 2006 New York Entertainment Book is $30, so take that into consideration when determining if the book will offer your family savings on your visit.
Also keep in mind that you can often find discounts on the Entertainment Books. The books expire November 1 of every year, so if you're planning a trip for August, September or October, you can often get a copy at a significant discount just before your trip.
The book is best geared for couples or families traveling together -- for single travelers, most of the coupons aren't a great deal. Depending on your intinerary, you might also check out the New York Pass and New York CityPass for savings on admission to a variety of attractions.

These listings represent just a few of the discounts featured in the Entertainment Book. I've left out the buy one, get one free discounts for restaurants in New York City, but if you're likely to visit fast food places or don't mind choosing your restaurants with coupons in mind, you can get further savings. There are also many national coupons in the book, which are good for hotel discounts, rental car savings, shopping and movies, so it may be possible to combine savings you get at home with savings in New York City from a single edition of the Entertainment Book.
