Dearest New York

Native New Yorker Deirdre Gartner offers a picture-driven tribute to her hometown. The book gathers richly detailed, deeply personal images that she has drawn from her high-profile "Girl in the Yellow Taxi NYC" Instagram account and blog. She dedicates the volume to anyone who dreams of the New York that once was and the one that will endure.

Alongside the photographs, the pages include illustrations and guides to well-known and lesser-known architectural landmarks, cafes, shops, and other hidden corners of the city. Readers who already love New York may enjoy browsing the imagery, while those planning a visit can use the guides to find places beyond the usual tourist route.

Throughout, the book returns to the city's energy, its ability to reinvent itself, and its stubborn resilience.
