| Abstract

:
|
A rare look into the beloved rituals of famous New Yorkers What do famous people love to do during their free time in the Big Apple? Like all New Yorkers, even the well-known among them have cherished rituals that connect them to their city in a unique way--favorite restaurants, delis, museums, parks, galleries, landmarks, haunts, and hideaways. For one resident, it may be watching tango dancers on Saturday nights in Central Park; for another, it's riding a bike over the Brooklyn Bridge to get a slice of Grimaldi's pepperoni pizza and a view of the Manhattan skyline from across the East River. Perhaps it entails choosing from the many varieties of bread at Rock Hill Bake House in the Union Square Greenmarket or simply walking across 46th Street and ending up at the great Broadway hangout, Angus McIndoe. In a refreshing step beyond the usual travel guides and tourist listings, My City, My New Yorkgives readers something truly unique: a chance to experience Manhattan the way its most notable luminaries residents do. The activities and establishments included are diverse, often eclectic, and, most-importantly, nonexclusive --you don't need to be a celebrity to enjoy them. In addition to quotes from the featured VIPs, the book offers a whole host of accompanying travel details. While offering new and creative possibilities for exploration, My City, New Yorkis also a love letter to the Big Apple and will touch even the most jaded New Yorkers.
