Publisher's Synopsis
Step into the streets of New York City with Francis Morrone's rich, reliable and conversational guide, and into a real insider's view of the Big Apple. "In the years I have lived in New York," writes Morrone, "I have walked the city's streets, explored the city's neighbourhoods, eaten in the city's restaurants, drunk in its bars and browsed in the city's second-hand book shops - all in measures far exceeding what anyone would think of as healthy or normal." More than an architectural guide, Morrone offers visitors an insider's insight, and casts a flaneur's witty eye over the city's 600 most important cultural and architectural landmarks.
