In a city with some of the most expensive real estate in the world, New Yorkers are used to doing more with less space. It´s not unusual for them to stuff shoes into ovens and fold beds into walls. But they don´t just apply this ingenuity to their apartments. Big Apple business owners have been cramming wares into pint-sized spaces way before "Microapartments" and "Tiny Homes" were even a thing. While its subject matter may be small spots, the book offers an expansive view into human resourcefulness in one of the world´s biggest cities. From gritty basements to posh brownstones, these micro places are permanent structures wedged in alleyways, sub-basements, and tiny triangles of land where third-generation New Yorkers to newly arrived immigrants are all making their big dreams come to life in little spaces. Tiny New York is a visual and tactile curiosity that is too irresistible not to pick up!
