New York/New York is an architectural tale of two cities: historic and beautiful old New York and vibrant, contemporary New York. Both cities exist side by side in variegated and fascinating harmony. Here one can see exquisite early nineteenth-century houses, extraordinary mid-nineteenth-century iron-front commercial buildings, and elegant early twentieth-century Beaux Arts mansions all standing in the shadows of exciting steel-and-glass gargantuas, also masterpieces of their kind. John Halpern’s marvelous photographs and entertainingly informative text make us appreciate with deeper understanding the astounding variety of architectural beauty to be found in this great city: the old, the new, the mundane, and the magnificent.
