The Great Style of New York

About the Book

Since I was a child, I had always loved Manhattan and dreamed of moving there one day. In the autumn of 2014, I rented an apartment there for three months with the intention of looking for an apartment to purchase. So along with my two cats, Liz and Dick, I headed off to Manhattan. I spent many hours walking the streets of various areas of the city. I began taking general photos of the various neighborhoods with my iPhone. At first, I took overall photos of each neighborhood, then I started to look closer and deeper and began to focus on the details: old buildings, interesting doors, people, their animals, all the elements that make Manhattan the wonder that it is.
