MANHATTAN

A field guide to Manhattan: art museums and sidewalk cafes, fashion designers and chess teachers, jazz history and literary lore. Presented by Tablet Hotels It’s so fun when you meet a kindred spirit in this world. That’s the feeling we at Wildsam get from our friends at Tablet Hotels: We just think alike about a lot of things. For 25 years, Tablet has sought out the most interesting, exciting, life-affirming and culture-enhancing hotels around the world. They understand how a deeper travel experience, one that lights up the mind and senses, can transform life, even if only for a few days. At Wildsam, we’ve been going for much the same thing in our books since 2012. So it feels great to work together to bring our Manhattan Field Guide up-to-date for its next adventure–and to shine a light on the city that, more than perhaps any other, reminds us what a change of scene can do. Inside Wildsam Manhattan, you'll find city stories from prize-winning writers, past and present; illustrated maps to Jewish delis, standout architecture and niche shops; interviews with iconic journalists, Broadway stagehands and subway conductors; delightful miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic Manhattan experiences and trusted travel essentials. "Once you know Manhattan like this, if you're lucky enough to know the city in such miraculous minutae, you may leave it, but it never leaves you." 145 pages, printed in the U.S.A.
