Here is New York




I love this little book – no wonder The New York Times has named Here is New York one of the ten best books ever written about the metropolis, and The New Yorker calls it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city. A quintessential beautiful essay full of memories and nostalgia as E. B. White recollects of a city he has long known. In a sweltering summer of 1948, White sat in a New York City hotel to write what has become, according to The New York Times one of the 10 best books ever written about the city.
