具体描述
Since 1980, when the first edition of Where To Find It, Buy It,
Eat It in New York was published, the story of this book has
become something of a legend in the publishing world. It is now in
its sixth edition, and more than 350,000 copies have been sold.
The big question, which is still asked over and over again, is how
a man who lives in Oregon and works in Washington, D.C., could
write a best-selling guide to the Big Apple? Well, it isn t as com-
plicated as it may seem. I was born into a retailing family in
Oregon, and during my early years I spent a great deal of time
working in our stores and with our buyers in the markets of New
York. I fell in love with the city at that early age, and the love affair
has continued all my life.
After the family department-store business was sold, I decided to
go into public service. I soon became Chief of Staff for United
States Senator Mark Hatfield. Of course, the work in Washington
is fascinating, but for variety and change of pace, I have spent two
weekends a month for the past 22 years in New York.
As a former retailer, I have visited literally thousands of stores,
evaluating their services, selections, and the value of their merchan-
dise. As the proprietor of a konditorei, a European-style gourmet
food emporium, in Oregon, I feel I ve earned my credentials to
pass judgment on food shops and restaurants. I ve tried over 1,400
eating spots in Manhattan and picked out the best values in every
category for you. As a world traveler (I ve visited every continent
and over 130 countries), I feel qualified to comment on hotels and
other travel services for visitors and sightseers.
Probably the biggest difference between this book and other
guidebooks to New York (and the thing that I think has made it so
popular) is that this is one person s evaluation of the New York
scene. Since most guidebooks are written by a group of people,
there is little continuity in the assessment of restaurants, stores, ser-
vices, hotels, sights, and the like. This book reflects how I view the
most exciting city in the world, and I hope my thoughts and ideas
will help you save time and money. You may not agree with all my
opinions, but at least this book can be a starting point for your own
adventures in New York.

我本来以为这会是一本那种枯燥、密密麻麻罗列地址和营业时间的工具书，毕竟“去哪里找、去哪里买、去哪里吃”的标题太直白了。然而，真正开始阅读后，才发现作者在叙事手法上玩出了一种非常高明的“反差”。他似乎更热衷于描绘一种氛围，一种光影如何落在某个街角的咖啡馆外墙上，或者某个小店老板手上那双布满皱纹却异常灵活的手。文字的流动性极强，读起来像是在听一位老纽约客娓娓道来他一天的行程，充满了生活化的细节和不易察觉的幽默感。这种叙事方式，巧妙地将“信息传递”融入到了“故事构建”之中，使得即便是那些最基础的采购指南，也变得引人入胜，让人完全沉浸在一种身临其境的阅读体验中，而不是机械地记笔记。
评分最让我感到惊喜的是，作者在编排章节时展现出的那种近乎强迫症般的逻辑结构。它绝不是按地理区域简单划分，而是根据一种内在的、更形而上的联系来组织内容的。比如，一个关于“老式工具店”的章节，可能会因为某个工具的材质或历史渊源，而巧妙地跳转到另一个描述“使用该材料制作的古董家具店”，再以“特定工艺的工匠后代所经营的餐厅”作为收尾。这种跳跃看似随意，实则蕴含着一条清晰的思维链条，它引导读者进行一种联想式的探索，而不是被动地接受信息。阅读这本书的过程，更像是在解谜，你需要跟上作者那种高度个人化、但又无比精密的逻辑网络，一旦跟上了，你会发现整个纽约城仿佛变成了一个巨大的、相互关联的艺术装置。
评分阅读这本“指南”的过程中，我体验到了一种奇妙的“疏离感”与“亲近感”的交织。一方面，作者的笔触极其细腻，捕捉到了很多只有长期居住者才能察觉到的微妙变化——比如季节更迭时，某个户外集市的摊位会如何调整，或者午后三点阳光斜射进某个小画廊时的特定色调。这让我感觉自己像是被一个非常可靠的向导秘密地拉到了一边，耳语着只有“圈内人”才知道的窍门。但另一方面，这种深度也带来了一种淡淡的遗憾，因为很多描述的场景和店铺似乎更倾向于一种“过去时态”的捕捉，它们散发着一种近乎永恒的美感，但你又隐隐地意识到，在现实世界中，这种“永恒”本身就是最脆弱、最易逝的东西。这让阅读过程充满了对美好事物消逝的诗意喟叹。
评分这本书的语言风格，如果用音乐术语来形容，它绝对不是快节奏的摇滚乐，更像是一首精致的室内乐，每一个音符（每一个词语的选择）都经过了深思熟虑，互相支撑，共同营造出一种缓慢而有韵律的美感。我注意到作者非常偏爱使用复合句和一些略带古朴的词汇，这使得整本书的调性显得非常“知识分子”，但奇怪的是，这种文雅的表达方式并没有让人感到疏远，反而因为其背后蕴含的对城市生活的深刻洞察而更具说服力。它要求读者放慢脚步，去欣赏那些快节奏生活常常忽略掉的细枝末节，比如一个窗台上摆放的陶土花盆的裂纹，或是雨后湿漉漉的鹅卵石路面反射出的霓虹光晕。这完全是一种反商业化的、近乎学术性的城市观察报告。
评分这本书的装帧设计简直让人眼前一亮，那种带着微微泛黄的纸张质感，拿在手里沉甸甸的，仿佛立刻就能闻到旧书店里特有的那种木质香气。封面上的字体排版非常考究，虽然名字听起来像是那种流水线上的旅游指南，但细看之下，那种精心雕琢的复古感，让人不禁对手册的内容充满了期待。我尤其欣赏它在细节上的处理，比如侧边切口的颜色，似乎经过了特别的做旧处理，让人感觉这不是一本新书，而是一件历经风霜的古董。这种视觉上的冲击和触觉上的愉悦，无疑为接下来的阅读体验定下了非常高的基调。它不像那些光鲜亮丽的现代指南那样冰冷，而是充满了人情味和历史的厚重感，让人忍不住想立刻翻开，去探寻书中所描绘的那些隐藏在纽约街角的秘密角落。
