Diverse and vivacious, artistic, audacious, and

always inspirational, there are many definitions of

New York.

In a photographic tour that goes beyond the

clichés of this spirited city, Assouline presents a

unique portrait of New York City with pictures that

are at once modern, elegant, and bold. From its intimate

details to its iconic architecture, here are over

900 images that illuminate the mantra, "Only in New

York." There is Central Park and Carnegie Hall, of

course, but also Mott Street, Jackson Heights and the

Apollo. With an entertaining introduction by Tama

Janowitz and an appendix of Assouline's favourite

hotels, restaurants, museums, and special services,

New York is the quintessential illustrated volume on

the world's greatest city.
