Charming and also helpful, Chast tells us the important stuff about New York. After growing up in Brooklyn, Chast became a suburban commuter to the city. Although in love with New York, she decided the larger space that she could afford in the 'burbs made sense. Then ready to send her oldest off to college, she realized her kids had a totally different idea of the city than she has. She started writing a little guide that grew into this book. Here are the important facts, not tourist attractions. A tutorial on finding your way around, and appreciate the sights and "feel" of the city. Chast's drawings are so marvelous, you don't have to be interested in NYC to appreciate this book but if you read it, you might become interested.
