For our final installment of “Mornings On 1 Authors Week,” illustrator Joel Holland joined the team to discuss his new book “NYC Storefronts.”
It features a collection of drawings that take the reader on a trip around Manhattan — from Washington Heights to the West Village — with an eye towards the storefronts that define the borough.
Holland says it highlights “a few of the places that act like glue, holding a seemingly endless number of different communities together as one great city.”
The book was a team effort, Holland says. While he came up with the idea and drew the illustrations, writer David Dodge researched the story behind each spot, and New York Nico wrote the foreword.
