Description

This collection celebrates New York City's unique history and culture through the lens of its iconic small shops. For decades, James and Karla Murray have documented and preserved these stores, capturing their charm and character before they disappear.

Featuring glorious reproductions of images from past books, as well as never-before-published photos, this book is a love letter to the city's diverse urban retail scene. Organized by borough, it includes descriptions, maps, and generous single-page images with captions listing location, neighborhood, and year taken.

With its large format and vibrant color, this volume honors destinations lost to rising rents and changing demographics, while serving as a guidebook for anyone interested in the city's ever-evolving landscape.
