Through the centuries, she's been embraced and reviled, worshipped and feared, praised and battered-all the while standing at the crossroads of American politics, business, society, and culture. Pulitzer Prize winner Teresa Carpenter, a lifelong diary enthusiast, scoured the archives of libraries, historical societies, and private estates to assemble here an almost holographic view of this iconic metropolis. Starting on January 1 and continuing day by day through the year, these journal entries are selected from four centuries of writing-revealing vivid and compelling snapshots of life in the Capital of the World. \"Today I arrived by train in New York City . . . and instantly fell in love with it.
