New York: 365 Days: From the Photo Archives of the "New York Times"
Author(s): Gay Talese
"New York: 365 Days" is the equivalent of a walking tour through time and space. Beginning with New Year's Day, the reader takes a fascinating and evocative journey through the New York Year, stopping at such calendrical landmarks as the opening of the baseball season, the Fourth of July, the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, illustrated with compelling "then and now" photographs that capture the changing look of the city. We see New Yorkers sunbathing in Central Park in the summer and hurrying through snowy Times Square in the winter; gathering in restaurants and clubs; meditating in the city's great museums; and enjoying quiet moments on fire escapes and park benches.
