Photographer Susan Kaufman has made a declaration of love for the city with her photo book. She shows “her” New York.
It will be traveled again. And the USA – and New York there – are at the top of travelers’ bucket lists. Susan Kaufman’s book “New York As Nobody Knows It” makes you want to roam the Big Apple again.
Because the longtime lifestyle editor and photographer takes the readers on their walks with the camera and explores with them the charming, picturesque sides of the city, which has much more to offer than Manhattan and the skyscrapers. To the magnolia trees in Washington Square Park, to the neo-Gothic Grace Church on Broadway, to the romantic Gramercy Park, to flower shops, bookstores and cafes.
The whole book is a colorful invitation to the city that supposedly never sleeps. Susan Kaufman’s photos testify to the photographer’s love for her city, her penchant for details, and they actually show sides of New York that are so little known.
Illustrated book shows New York off Broadway
Dreamy lanes in Greenwich Village, lush gardens in Noho & Nolita, beautiful facades in Soho, carriage houses in Gramercy Park, stylish stairways in Murray Hill, graceful townhouses in the Upper East Side, the “old world charm” of Carnegie Hill.
The picture sheets are a charming journey of discovery through a New York that surprises with its small parts, with its nooks and crannies, the lovingly decorated shop windows and the striking doors.

Kaufman found vintage shops, an ancient butcher shop, or a Japanese stationery store. She photographed her favorite places in the rain and snow, in spring and autumn. And at the end of each chapter there is a drawn map with personal favorite places.
You’d love to book the next flight to New York right away, to have an espresso at Caffe Dante or reserve a table for two at Raoul’s Bistro.
