Louis Vuitton 2009 City Guides – New York, a Vibrant, Intellectual and Legendary City
Known as “Big Apple”, “City That Never Sleeps”, New York is a city of superlatives: the biggest, the most exciting city in America, business and cultural capitals of America and the nation’s trendsetter. The city seems to pull in the best and the brightest from every corner of the country. Now it is a destination of choice for many foreign visitors. I cannot wait to know how the prestigious Louis Vuitton City Guide New York would capture the spirit of the vibrant, intellectual and legendary city. Compiled by a team of independent journalists and illustrated by Ruben Toledo, the Louis Vuitton City Guide explores every must-see venue in this effervescent capital through some 500 exclusive addresses. Grand hotels and luxury bars, world-class restaurants, intimate diners, offbeat clubs, fashion designers, furniture makers and innovative art galleries…The selection has been thoroughly updated for the fifth edition of this indispensable guide, which reveals the creative heart of New York. Clear, practical maps allow you to find your bearings easily throughout the city. Just the same as the other Louis Vuitton guides, it has been the very personal tone with which it evokes its chosen destination. In this book, Louis Vuitton invites Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys, to offer his perspective on New York. He tells of his fascination for New York department store window displays. Maybe you can find thousands of city guides to New York, but this Louis Vuitton City Guide New York would be the most distinctive one.
