Synopsis
Dan Barry approaches New York from every angle, finding surprise in the familiar, beauty in the rusted, ruined, or paved-over, and intimacy between strangers thrown together by circumstance. Whether visiting the Fulton Fish Market on the day of its closing, watching octogenarian dancers as they re-capture the grace of their youths, or talking to cops, rabbis, hatmakers, bartenders, doctors, boat captains, cabdrivers, engineers, barbers, and other about their jobs and lives, Barry brings the eye of the journalist and the soul of a poet to everything he writes.

Review
"* "Dan Barry sees the city with the wide eyes of a visitor...and a native's sceptical squint.....A tourist's delight, and a true son's healthy sense of self deprecation." from the foreword by Alice McDermott * "Poignant and inspiring....beguiling words to dream by." The New York Times Book Review" --New York Times
