The Big Apple is famous for its abundance of live theaters (the most of any U.S. city) and several premier art collections (the Metropolitan Museum of Art being the largest in the Western Hemisphere). But did you know that the first parkway in the U.S. is Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway? Or that the oldest continuously operating newspaper in the country is the New York Post?
Superlative City highlights 52 such singular sensations, rendered in charming watercolor illustrations with illuminating annotative text. Whether you’re a visitor, a newcomer, or a native, this collection will give you a unique perspective on the “city that never sleeps.”
