SynopsisNew York is a city whose DNA comes from all over the world, a fantastic and unique place belonging to America yet not completely American. Such a strong cultural personality deserves a book, and Martine Assouline introduces this grand new title as "a little tribute to the New York I love." Travel through the most important periods of this great city and into all its boroughs, from Manhattan and Brooklyn to the Bronx and Queens to Staten Island with glimpses into its history and the development of its world- renown skyline. Discover stories from immigration in the early twentieth century to Prohibition in the 1920s to the youth revolution in the sixties. Remember the best moments in Broadway and the discos at Studio 54; dream with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote, and Audrey Hepburn or Madonna and Jean- Michel Basquiat., New York: a city so evocative that poets, musicians, and artists have dedicated their greatest works to glorifying it. This illustrious city has always been a melting pot of culture from all corners of the world. New York by New York is an intoxicating, all-inclusive journey through this inimitable ethos: chronologically, from the Harlem Renaissance and the speakeasies of the Jazz Age, to the golden age of Broadway and the explosion of the Pop Art scene, to the advertising firms of Mad Men fame and Studio 54, up to the present day; and spatially, outward to the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
