"After living in Paris for five years, author Adam Gopnik and his family moved to Manhattan in the fall of 2000. In a series of essays that examine everything from the cleaned-up Times Square to school plays, Gopnik describes what life is like for him, his wife, and their two small children in a changing New York that's increasingly being populated by families. He also touches on larger issues, like the impact of 9/11 on city dwellers. This "detailed, rhapsodic, and altogether satisfying chronicle" (Los Angeles Times) is sure to have readers pondering what their own version of New York looks like. For a more classic view of the city, try E.B. White's Here is New York, written over 60 years ago."
