Publisher's Synopsis

Updated with sixteen new pages of quips, remarks and exchanges from the creators of overheardinnewyork.com.

The streets of New York are full of characters who don't mince words-or care who hears them. This collection presents some of the most outlandish real life conversations overheard on the sidewalk, in the subway, and at the next table. It's the Big Apple peeled, a hysterically unvarnished portrait of the city that never sleeps-and often neglects to think before it speaks in public.

About the Publisher

Perigee Books

Perigee Books, originally created as the trade paperback imprint for G. P. Putnam's Sons, has featured an eclectic range of titles from virtually every category of publishing, both fiction and nonfiction. One of the earliest, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, is now the only work of fiction on the list. Perigee's publishing program has evolved to fulfill its mandate to be useful, useless, creative, and curious. Publishing in both hardcover and paperback formats (as well as original eBooks), Perigee features a range of prescriptive non-fiction, self-help and how-to books, guides to creativity, and popular reference. The list also features a line of illustrated gift and craft books.
