Here Is New York

By: E. B. White

Narrated by: Malcolm Hillgartner

Perceptive, funny, and nostalgic, E. B. White's stroll around Manhattan remains the quintessential love letter to the city, written by one of America's foremost literary figures. The New York Times named Here Is New York one of the 10 best books ever written about the metropolis, and The New Yorker called it "the wittiest essay, and one of the most perceptive, ever done on the city".

Included with this essay are two short poems by E. B. White: "Commuter" and "Critic", both published in The New Yorker in 1925.

Old New York

A wonderful walk around Post-War Manhattan in search of the city of White's youth even as it was rapidly disappearing.

A Lovely Listen for All Fans of E. B. White

The distinct style and beauty of E. B. White is never so evident as in Here Is New York. Even if you've never been to New York or aren't a fan of large cities, you will love this short listen, because it encapsulates what America is: the melting pot of the world, a place where every culture, every taste, every talent is embraced and appreciated, recognized and celebrated. What a wonderful piece of literature!

Beautifully done

Excellent narration of a timeless piece. As an ex- New Yorker, it gave me a nostalgic pang.

Here is New York

An essay, more than a book or a story, this is a perfect accompaniment to a short evening walk through any city. White does a wonderful job drawing a picture of one of the earths greatest cities and its inhabitants. I loved this.

NYC is a special place.

Relevant then, and relevant now, EB Whites “Here is New York” will especially hit home to the New Yorker & the NYer which EB has coined the “Settler.” Enjoy
