New York never sleeps, they say, and this book offers up 24 hours' worth of life in the city, looking at its founding fathers (and mothers), at key events in its history, and at the buildings and people that make up its unique character. Find out who gave the city Central Park and the Empire State Building, learn what it was like to arrive at Ellis Island, and admire the way New York has presented itself to the world in art, literature, and music.
