THE GREAT SIGHTS OF NEW YORK A Photographic Guide
Text by James Spero 103 Photographs by Edmund V Gillon, Jr.
Unlike the typical guide to New York, which either buries you under mountains of overly detailed text or gives you photographs and no text at all, The Great Sights of New York provides the best of both: superb photographs of over 100 outstanding sights, but also a page-by-page text that provides clear, basic information about each sight and how it figures in the history and fabric of the city.
Completely revised and updated to reflect the ever-changing character of New York, this guide covers skyscrapers, parks, museums, concert halls, stores and more.
Empire State Building Statue of Liberty
Radio City Music Hall Times Square
Rockefeller Center United Nations
Madison Square Garden Macy's
Grant's Tomb Central Park
World Trade Center Metropolitan Museum of Art
Greenwich Village SoHo
Chinatown Wall Street
Metropolitan Opera House Museum of Modern Art

New to this revision are photographs of the new Central Park Zoo, Striver's Row in Harlem, the Javits Convention Center, Battery Park City and other sites. You'll also find sights outside Manhattan that distance or the season may prevent you from seeing—Coney Island, Brooklyn Museum, Yankee Stadium, the Cloisters, New York Botanical Garden; and little-known jewels often overlooked even by native New Yorkers—Gramercy Park, St. Paul's Chapel, Hispanic Society of America, Pierpont Morgan Library, Frick Collection, Temple Emanu-El.
Each picture is numbered to correspond with the numbers on a large, two-page map of Manhattan. For ease of use, the photographs—all except the final 13, which deal with points outside Manhattan—have been arranged geographically.
Both tourists and lifelong residents of New York will find this guide exceptionally useful and enlightening. Anyone who has ever lived or vacationed in New York, anyone who has dreamed of coming to New York, anyone who loves New York— this is the guide to your city, the one guide you must have.
