Presents "New York City Traditions". In a breezily and colorfully accessible manner: Part travel guide, part cultural history, part gossip column. All-embracing. Eight contributors tackle various aspects of the city that are "must-knows" to any reader or fan. Nick Harris's contribution on the city's rich cultural history is particularly illuminating. However, all the other contributors have done a great job of telling the fascinating story of the city in words, illustrations, sidebars, captions, and photographs. Divided into eight sections: Architecture, Art, Fashion, Festivals & Religions, Food & Drink, Music, Sports & Leisure, and Theater & Literature. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by such figures as Sheila Metzner, Andy Warhol, and Bruce Weber, to mention only three of the biggest names. Practically everyone who has photographed New York City is represented here and then some. Beautifully assembled by a team of graphic designers and artists. A tour-de-force, worthy of its great subject, the greatest city in the world. An absolute "must-have" title for New York City and photography book collectors. This title is now collectible.
