New York City runs in my blood. It's a side effect to strolling the streets for years and talking to hundreds of locals. It invaded my mind, colonized my reading list, and still shows up vividly in my dreams.
Many books have been written on the New York systems. (If you love sewers, get lost in Kate Ascher's The Works: Anatomy of a City.) They're interesting, but they don't reflect the New York that I love: a city of voices and interruptions, full of people ready every day to chat. Will a sewer talk about the immigration experience? Probably not.
Building a book in New Yorker's words takes a long time. Some turn to search engines to learn more about the city, but the best New York books are written by those who enter New York with admiration and humility. An investigator is always more convincing than a know-it-all. Walking through its streets this place will surprise and shock you, but it will always toast you.
