Cereal City Guide: New York - by Rosa Park & Rich Stapleton (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From the leading independent travel and style magazine Cereal comes Cereal City Guide: New York, a portrait of the Big Apple offering an exciting and thoughtful list of what to see and do for discerning travelers and locals alike.

"Filled with handsome visuals and practical advice, they're exactly what you need to walk away feeling like you've experienced the stylish soul of a city." --Emma Reddington, style director, House & Home

Rich Stapleton and Rosa Park, Cereal's founders, travel extensively for the magazine and were inspired to create a series of city guides that highlight their favorite places to visit. Rather than a comprehensive directory of all there is to see and do, they offer a curated selection of points of interest and venues that reflect Cereal's values in both quality and aesthetic sensibility. Meticulously researched and illustrated with original photography, this handsome travel guide includes:

• Photo essays on striking images of the city
• An illustrated neighborhood map
• Interviews and essays from celebrated locals, such as chef Camille Becerra, shop owner Kai Avent-deLeon, and others
• Lists of essential architectural points of interest, museums, galleries, day trips outside the city, and unique goods to buy
• An itinerary for an ideal day in New York

Stapleton and Park have personally visited hundreds of venues in New York, distilling their preferred locales down to their firm favorites. From the inspired boutiques that reflect a distinctive New Yorker eclecticism to the local restaurants that feed them, these are the finds that offer a more personal take on the city.

Review Quotes

"Cereal City Guides always give me that detail that I yearn for as a creative person when I'm traveling to my favorite cities. Rosa Park and Rich Stapleton work in total in harmony . . . Rich with his eye for beauty, perfection, and detail that is so enriching, and Rosa with her eye for finding the detail and perfection in all aspects of life, which is so satisfying. The combination is intriguing and inspiring."--Lyn Harris, perfumer

"Cereal City Guides take a different approach to travel. They invite you to sit quietly in cafes favored by locals and meander down less-traveled paths to places of interest you've probably never heard of. Filled with handsome visuals and practical advice, they're exactly what you need to walk away feeling like you've experienced the stylish soul of a city."--Emma Reddington, style director at House & Home

"Less is always more for me and these guides are the epitome of that. They're a really lovely cherry-picked selection of things to do and see across our favorite cities. They are thoughtful, special, and a real essential when traveling."--Alex Eagle, creative director

"This beautifully shot guide boasts a precise selection that blends historic Parisian institutions and emerging spots with a focus on good taste and design."--Patrick Seguin, gallerist

"What I love about these guides is the strength of the perspective. Everything inessential has been rigorously pared away, leaving a very focused take on each city."--John Pawson, architect

"When traveling, I want each minute of my limited time to be well spent, in the right places. Planning for this can be daunting. No more sifting through blogs and dense guide books to make my itinerary.
