Here Is New York

Read Here Is New York Storyline:

In the summer of 1948, E.B. White sat in a New York City hotel room and, sweltering in the heat, wrote a remarkable pristine essay, Here is New York. Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, the author’s stroll around Manhattan—with the reader arm-in-arm—remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America’s foremost literary figures. *Here is New York* has been chosen by *The New York Times* as one of the ten best books ever written about the city. The *New Yorker* calls it “the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city.”
