Iconic New York - Revised Edition

Christmas in New York? A lifelong dream of many people who long for a vibrant, glittering winter wonderland. The new edition of the classic "Iconic New York" by Christopher Bliss, shows the Big Apple in an authentic way.

Probably the most famous city on the US East Coast is so much more than the Empire State Building, Time Square and the Statue of Liberty. It is the hidden places and buildings in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens that reflect the city's culture, everyday life and attitude to life.
