New York Times Bestseller
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet and 99
Stories I Could Tell!
Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio,
illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the
unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life
bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number
of tourists). In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the
secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York
including the answers to such burning questions as, how do I hail a cab?
What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many doors in
the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need be touching
right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk
garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New York were a game show,
how would I win? What happens when I stand in the bike lane? Who should
get the empty subway seats? How do I stay safe during a trash tornado?
Each tip is a little story illustrated in simple black and white
drawings.
