Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Contents Introduction The Financial District Around City Hall From the Battery to TriBeCa SoHo Greenwich Village The East Village Chelsea From Union Square to Kips Bay From Herald Square to Murray Hill Grand Central Turtle Bay Times Square Fifth Avenue From Columbus Circle to Sutton Place Broadway in the Upper West Side Central Park West The Upper East Side Yorkville and Carnegie Hill Morningside Heights Washington Heights and Harlem Central Park Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights Park Slope and Prospect Park Index for Specialists Bibiliography Index Book News Annotation:Covering some 600 buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, this guide
offers maps and descriptions of prominent and interesting structures.
The author's own architectural judgments are often included. The
relative lack of illustration (small black and white photographs of a
minority of the buildings are included) suggest that the guide is
meant to serve as a walking tour guide where the reader can compare
commentary to the actual buildings of the two New York boroughs.
