Description
A celebration of her lifelong love for New York, Hanff embarked on this project as an assignment and realized she had not been to many of the main tourist attractions—the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and the World Trade Center.
As make-believe tourists, she and Patsy set off to visit and describe the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Grant's Tomb, Fraunces Tavern, several of New York's small museums, Orchard Street, Harlem, and much more.
Hanff weaves in historical events and tidbits about some of New York's most notorious personalities.
