SynopsisLiving in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number of tourists). Nathan decided to draw his favorite tips and etiquette lessons and post them on the internet, where his 12 original panels went viral immediately and became the basis for this hilarious illustrated book (check out the fully animated ebook, too!). In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the answers to such burning questions as, which cabs should I try to hail What is a bodega Which way is Uptown Why are there so many doors in the sidewalk How do I walk on an escalator Do we need to be touching right now Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk garbage How long should I honk my horn If New York were a game show, how would I win What happens when I stand in the bike lane Who should get the empty subway seats How do I stay safe during a trash tornado Each tip is a little story illustrated in simple black and white drawings. Visitors and newcomers to New York will love it because the advice is smart, funny, and not condescending.
