If ever there was a city that has been maximized, it is New York; Michael Arndt, however, has proven that it can be accurately represented in minimalist art. Here Arndt playfully captures the essence of NYC with clever pairs of sharp illustrations and cheeky commentary about the Big Apple. Historic context for each illustration is revealed in the back of the book, making it an informative experience for anyone who has ever walked through the bright lights of Times Square, strolled through Central Park, indulged in Junior's Cheesecake on Flatbush, or paid $13 for an avocado toast.
