The book, full of both a beautiful narrative and plenty of historical insight, explores the 200-year transformation of Fifth Avenue from a residential street to one of NYC’s most well-known landmarks. Bridging both the past and the present, the book’s stunning visuals can’t help but draw the eye. Readers will find everything from archival black-and-white photographs of horse-drawn carriages to modern-day street scenes. To match? A thought-provoking foreword by author Jay McInerney and an introduction by award-winning journalist Julie Satow.
