Tiny New York: The Smallest Things in the Biggest City

Description

In a city with some of the most expensive real estate in the world, New Yorkers are used to doing more with less space. It’s not unusual for them to stuff shoes into ovens and fold beds into walls. But they don’t just apply this ingenuity to their apartments. Big Apple business owners have been cramming wares into pint-sized spaces way before Microapartments and Tiny Homes were even a thing. While its subject matter may be small spots, the book offers an expansive view into human resourcefulness in one of the world’s biggest cities. From gritty basements to posh brownstones, these micro places are permanent structures wedged in alleyways, sub-basements, and tiny triangles of land where third-generation New Yorkers to newly arrived immigrants are all making their big dreams come to life in little spaces. Tiny New York is a visual and tactile curiosity that is too irresistible not to pick up!
