Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, the author's stroll around Manhattan -- arm in arm with the reader -- remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America's foremost literary figures. The New York Times has chosen Here is New York as one of the ten best books ever written about the grand metropolis. The New Yorker calls it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city". This edition marks the one hundredth anniversary of E.B. White's birth.
