March 14 Book Talk at Rizzoli Bookstore
NYC Walks: Guide to New Architecture, my fifth book, is being released two weeks from today, on March 12. Published by Prestel, NYC Walks collects ten architectural walking tours I've been giving since my first book, Guide to Contemporary New York City Architecture (W. W.

I'll be signing books after the talk. The event is free, but be sure to register via this link.
