The New York Times has named Here is New York one of the ten best books ever written about the metropolis, and The New Yorker calls it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city.

“Every block or two, in most residential sections of New York, is a little Main Street. No matter where you live... you will find within a block or two a grocery store, a barbershop, a news stand, a shoeshine, a dry cleaner, a flower shop, a radio repair shop, a movie house, a stationer, a haberdasher, a tailor, a drugstore, a garage, a tea room, a saloon, a hardware store, a liquor store, and a shoe repair shop.”
In a book full of beautiful illustrations of New York, I felt closest to this simple description of the humming vibrancy of the “city within a city” that is a New York neighborhood.
What a great little book this was.
