With DNA from around the world, New York City is one of the most diverse and dynamic corners of the United States. A celebration of the city’s unique cultural identity, Martine Assouline’s latest book is “a little tribute to the New York I love.” As you turn the pages, you’ll travel through the most important periods of the city’s history and into all its boroughs, from Manhattan to Brooklyn to the Bronx to Staten Island, discovering stories of New York icons along the way. 

This volume reveals New York through the expert eyes of photographers from Edward Steichen to Peter Lindbergh, together with stories and quotes from writers including E.B. White , Edith Wharton, Tom Wolfe, and Jay Mcinerney.
