"Together, they serve as a reminder that New York City, devastatingly vast as it can feel, is the sum of so many little parts—lives, stories, efforts to get by—woven together." — Condé Nast Traveler"These photos document a great collective loss for New York and our shared culture. They also represent a stirring reminder of the importance of photographing, documenting, and celebrating small shops." — Rolando Pujol, The Retrologist"[The book] captures not just the outward aspect but the communal spirit of these places". — Brooklyn Magazine"We promise, you will not be disappointed." — Accidentally Wes Anderson"The book’s shots focus specifically on the unique aesthetics that the stores bring to their surroundings." — Huck"These head-on color photographs are important reminders of the city’s luminosity." — Print Magazine
