Publisher's Synopsis
"In the years I have lived in New York", writes the author, "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, this book offers visitors a real insider's insight on the Big Apple, and casts a flaneur's witty eye over the city's 600 most important cultural and architectural landmarks.
