Justin Davidson + Wendy Goodman: Magnetic City @ TSQ

Magnetic City takes us to popular destinations as well as to residential neighborhoods rarely on the casual traveler’s beat. His New York comes alive as we read about the stories behind landmarks and street corners, about the visionaries and architects who created the city by constantly destroying and rebuilding it.

The book is structured around seven walking tours, (the Financial District; the Seaport and Brooklyn Waterfront; the World Trade Center; the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and the High Line; Forty-Second Street; the Upper West Side; and Sugar Hill and the South Bronx). But this is far more than guidebook. Justin Davidson is a gifted storyteller, and each itinerary is a trip you can take by foot (or bike, or ferry) … or a journey you can take in your mind without ever leaving your armchair.

Join us at Strand’s Times Square Kiosk to celebrate NYCxDESIGN with Justin and NY Mag’s Wendy Goodman. Books will be available for purchase at the kiosk; this event is free and open to attend. There will be a 30 minute talk with a Q&A to follow, and time for a signing after.
