New York's architecture contributes to the city's unique excitement. Whilst many are familiar with the city's energetic facades and canyon-like streets, fewer are familiar with its interior architecture and design. This book sets out to reveal the work of artists, designers and craftsmen who have created its interiors. The work ranges from the grand illusions of muralists, to the pomp of Grecian columns or the streamlined detailing of Art Deco lobbies. Both the familiar and the unusual are presented, from the most spectacular, innovative skyscrapers, like the Chrysler Buildings, and shops such as the Steinway Showroom and Broadway Barbershop, to more intimate domestic interiors and pubs like McSorley's Old Ale House. Comprehensive information on buildings open to the public is included.

Review:
'If interior design porn like Wallpaper rings your bells, those canny souls at Phaidon Press have come up with some seriously horny stuff for your coffee table this summer. They are releasing their draw-droppingly gorgeous Inside...series in luxury paperback.' (Attitude) 'A set of stunningly illustrated books celebrates the best of interior design through the ages. The Inside series does not contain any prehistoric art, but its beautiful photographs capture manmade interiors over 2000 years.' (Yorkshire Evening Press) 'Go get the book to go with your T-shirt.' (FX) 'This series throws back the covers to reveal Western interiors that have been languishing in the shadows...they capture the personality of each city.' (The Good Book Guide) 'An armchair architectural adventure...Readers will find examples of all periods of interior design photographed by Richard Berenholtz and described eloquently by Joe Friedman...this intriguing book. From an extraordinary Art Deco church to the stately grandeur of the New York Public library, Inside New York is a fitting testament to some of the most exquisite interiors in the world.' (Inside Fairfield County)
