Kind of a user's guide to Manhattan, & a loving memoir of the author's experiences in Manhattan. Covers topics such as finding food & shelter, principles of surface & sub-surface navigation, where to find nature, &c. Also has many of the author's anecdotes from her life in New York. Explains what makes New York special not only to her, but to the world over. Makes me both want to go to NY, & also to read other books by Roz Chast (my only previous familiarity with her is her one-off cartoons in the Funny Times, New Yorker, &c).
