Famed for its incredible array of food, fashion, art, design, nightlife and shopping, New York draws people from all over the world. It is truly a city like no other; a city you may think you know, thanks to countless iconic films and TV shows, but which has so many depths and layers that it is endlessly exciting to explore.

As beautifully designed and photographed as Paris and Provence - part-travel guide and part-coffee table book - New York is the perfect gift for armchair or real-life travellers. Alex Carroll takes readers beyond the well-known façades and into the depths of Manhattan and Brooklyn, seeking out the very best the city has to offer: galleries large and small, the best bookstores, the locals’ favourite flea markets, jaw-dropping fashion and accessories emporiums and the must-visit eateries, from street-side to fine dining and everything delicious in between.
