Fully rewritted an updated by architecture historian, writer and tour guide Francis Morrone, this is an essential handbook that reveals the story of this unique world metropolis through its ever-evolving built environment: its beginnings as a palisaded settlement at the tip of Manhattan to the vast urban sprawl across five boroughs; as well as its links to its maritime enviroment. History, architecture, commerce, and culture all come together in this story. As well as Manhattan, bounded by the Hudson and East rivers, with major attractions such as the Met Museum, Wall Street, Central Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Empire State Building, detailed treatment is also given to Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, inviting visitors to explore the whole of this paradigm-defining city.
Blue Guides are the best-presented, best-researched cultural guidebooks in the English language. Some key features of Blue Guide New York City:
- In full color, with photographs, plans and illustrations, as well as detailed maps
- Illustrations that inform as well as decorate. Each photo is chosen to explain a key point in the narrative, to give examples of the work of a major architect, or to show an epoch-defining landmark
- Find out not just what you are looking at, but why: the Blue Guide contains a wealth of background detail, explaining how things are interconnected
- Understand the part New York City played in world architectural history, rising ever higher (literally) as a center of innovation
- This is not just a guide to the main sights. Each area of sprawling New York City is treated with careful attention and in detail. You will find amazing places that most casual visitors never get to
- A detailed glossary covering specialist terms
- Beautifully printed and laid out, a book that is a pleasure to own, and perfect either for use on the street or for armchair research at home.
See more, understand more, and enjoy more of New York City with the Blue Guide.
