Every New Yorker has a favorite place to shop-whether it's for
pizza or flowers, to grab a beer, or slurp down soup dumplings.
When the coronavirus crisis hit in 2020, illustrator Joel Holland
began drawing storefronts near his apartment as a way of
memorializing an element of city life that seemed suddenly
precarious. He posted them on Instagram and they quickly drew an
avid following. Eventually, Holland's collection grew to include
shops recommended by friends or strangers online. This book
showcases 225 of his delightful illustrations and runs the gamut,
from delis and bodegas to dive bars, bookstores, bakeries,
newsstands, cafes, restaurants and more. Each image is paired with
engaging text written by journalist David Dodge and filled with the
historical, cultural, and architectural details that have earned
these stores a place in people's hearts. Also included is a
foreword by beloved Instagrammer New York Nico, who is known for
chronicling the city's independent businesses. The perfect gift for
New Yorkers of all ages-as well as an insider's guide to everything
from dim sum to late-night jazz-this treasury of iconic shops
belongs in the library of anyone who loves NYC.
For decades, LGBTQ travellers have congregated in predictable
places: queer-friendly cities like New York and Berlin, or beach
towns such as Mykonos and Fire Island. But as progress and
visibility expand across the globe, so do queer people's travel
options. Drawing on their own extensive travel experiences, as well
as the perspectives of local DJs, artists, activists, drag
performers, DIY historians, and long-time residents (many of them
found through the biggest advantage gay travellers have over their
straight counterparts: 'hookup' apps like Grindr and Scruff), the
authors of Sassy Planet offer up the latest on what's hot in 40
cities around the world. Traveling in the US? Check out RuPaul's
Drag Race star Alaska's recommendations for Pittsburgh, where she
first got her start. Planning a trip to Japan? Read about the 300+
queer bars packed into Tokyo's Shinjuku neighbourhood. Even in
countries where homosexuality is sanctioned, you'll read about
emerging pockets of queer acceptance and culture. You'll also find
the very latest info on where to go in major destinations, from the
Por Detroit parties in Mexico City to new Brooklyn hot spots. The
book features interviews with local celebs, best-of lists, and
little- known hideaways all packaged with helpful insights, cool
bits of regional culture, queer lore-and of course, plenty of sass
to spare.
Strong men and women from all parts of the world, looking for a
