Martine Assouline introduces this title as "a little tribute to the New York I love". Packed with over 300 colourful illustrations, it reveals the city's DNA through the expert lens of leading photographers, like Peter Lindbergh, and unforgettable quotes from acclaimed writers including Edith Wharton and Tom Wolfe. This volume travels through all five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island, exploring pivotal moments in history, from Prohibition in the 1920s and the youth revolution in the '60s to the best highlights from Broadway and the construction of the iconic skyline.
