Walk With Me New York

Description

For some people, New York City exists only in their imaginations, a big-screen beacon of wonder and twenty-four seven delight. For others, it's a dream destination: the diverse urban center where they will finally feel they belong. And still for many, it's the place they already call home. No matter how you view New York, longtime fashion editor and photographer Susan Kaufman will help you see the city with fresh, appreciative eyes. As she travels with her camera through New York, Susan Kaufman invites readers to see the city as she does: from the sidewalk. She explores the beauty of the city found in its charming townhouses, decorated shops, lovely parks, shop facades, and serene streetscapes. New York may be known as the city that never sleeps, but beneath the bustle, there's a soulful side, with its own quiet power and universal allure. Walk with Me New York invites readers to appreciate the streets and buildings that have made the world's most iconic city survive centuries of change yet retain its vitality and aspirational magnetism.

Susan Kaufman was the founding editor in chief of Time Inc.'s People StyleWatch magazine. She was named "Editor of the Year" in Ad Age's "A-List" issue, and under her leadership, People StyleWatch landed the highly coveted number one position as "Magazine of the Year," also in the "A-List" issue. Her previous roles also include fashion editor at Glamour, fashion director at Mademoiselle, and style director at People. She is now a photographer and Instagrammer in her post-publishing career. Kaufman splits her time between her Greenwich Village apartment and her home in the Hamptons, which she shares with her husband and black Lab, Lucky.
