Publisher's Synopsis
All the Restaurants in New York is a collection of these drawings, characterized by their appealingly loose and gently distorted lines. These transportive images are intentionally spare, leaving the viewer room to layer on their own meaning and draw connections to their own memories of a place, of a time, of an atmosphere. From romantic spots like Le Bernardin to beloved holes-in-the-wall like Corner Bistro, John Donohue renders people's favorite restaurants in a manner that captures the emotional pull a certain place can have on the hearts of New Yorkers. Featuring an eclectic mix of 100 restaurants-from Minetta Tavern to Frankies 457 and River Café-this charming collection of drawings is accompanied by interviews with the owners, chefs, and loyal patrons of these much-loved restaurants.
