nothing better captures the quintessence that is ny

If nothing else, NY is a triumph of the human spirit. Metropolitan Diary has been the daily log of those shining moments that define the NY spirit - a spirit whose studied nonchalance and casualness is nothing more than the New Yorkers' sense that nothing is impossible. These excerpts bring tears of laughter and association as you journey through the human story that is NY. Individually these fleeting glances of NY show us vignettes that are warm and wonderful. But collectively, these stories become a living treasury that you hope never ends. If you understand what NY is all about, then this collection belongs on your shelf.
