A buzzing, savory, lively world comes to life in Robin Shulman’s…

“A buzzing, savory, lively world comes to life in Robin Shulman’s extensively researched ‘Eat the City’…The book provides what’s missing from much of the breathless media coverage of New York’s modern food artisans: culinary context…That’s history made delicious.”
-Washington Post

“The author, a former reporter for the Washington Post, has employed her skills as a writer and journalist to pull off a rather impressive feat: She has used food to chart the city’s evolution, and to argue that it owes its greatness as an international crossroads, particularly in its early years, as much to food as to industry or culture.” –The Wall Street Journal
