Presented in a pocket-sized landscape format and with captions
explaining the story behind each photo, New York City is a stunning
collection of images that vividly brings to life the world's greatest
city.
America's most populous city has been described as the cultural,
financial, and media capital of the world. It is also a universally
recognizable city, home of the Manhattan skyline, Central Park, Brooklyn
Bridge, and the headquarters of the United Nations. New York City
provides a pictorial exploration of the city's five boroughs: Brooklyn,
Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The book introduces the
reader to some classic architecture, such as the art deco Chrysler
Building and Empire State Building; quirky neighborhoods, such as
Greenwich Village, Chinatown, and Hell's Kitchen; iconic landmarks, such
as the Statue of Liberty and One World Trade Center; and great cultural
centers, such as Broadway, the home of North American theater; Times
Square, the "Crossroads of the World"; and Madison Square Garden, an
indoor sports and events arena.
