Description: "This extraordinarily interactive book offers the complete New York experience, from Broadway to Central Park, from skyscrapers to subways. Organized by New York City 100, the nonprofit group founded during New York City's centennial year to celebrate the city's history and heritage, this book brings miniature facsimiles, historic resources, marvelous artistic inspiration, and brilliant literary insight together into a new way of experiencing one of the world's greatest metropolises. This book bursts with an endless array of surprises. Paper engineers have fashioned the city's greatest monuments, past, present, and even future, into pop-up masterpieces. Visit the Metropolitan and Guggenheim museums, the federal Reserve and Stock Exchange, Times Square and Rockefeller Center, and the cultural metropolises of Harlem and Greenwich Village, as well as grand Central Terminal and the subways and underground world beneath it. Renowned New York artists have worked with paper engineers to create unique pops: Al Hirschfeld offers his rendition of Guys and Dolls, Red Groons presents a spontaneous New York encounter on a Washington Square Park bench at 3 a. M. , and Alex Katz lets us into his SoHo loft. The experience is completed with miniature special editions of The New York Times and Daily News (based on historic front pages)." -- with a bonus offer-- .
