Purchase options and add-ons

Designer Antonis Antoniou and award-winning author Steven Heller’s Decoding Manhattan reveal the mysteries and folkways of New York City in an entertaining collection of graphic art.

The life and legend of New York City, from the size of its skyscrapers to the ways of its inhabitants, is vividly captured in this lively collection of more than 250 maps, cross sections, flowcharts, tables, board games, cartoons, infographics, and other unique diagrams spanning 150 years.

Superstars such as Saul Steinberg, Maira Kalman, Christoph Niemann, Roz Chast, and Milton Glaser butt up against the unsung heroes of the popular press in a book that is made not only for lovers of New York but also for anyone who enjoys or works with information design.

“The graphics in this book add rich layers to our understanding of Manhattan.” —Fast Company

I bought this with another transit book that was wanted. Amazon had a better price than the transit museum, so I bought it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars The World according to Manhattanites
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021
Fantastic book, moderately priced. Ward Shelley’s “Downtown Body” map and diagram of artists from 2008 is worth the price already - although it is light on the African American presence and Harlem intertwinings. The smell maps are also good, although missing the “scratch and sniff” potential.

See how Manhattan has been mis-depicted (which is to say, subjectively and humanly illustrated) through the generations since the late 1800s. Strictly for Manhattan-o-files who feel this chunk of civilization is the Centre of the Earth - it’s not, but it is a well organized mass of - well, very strange people living on top of each other and sometimes dreaming, and we now know, very capable at doodling. A treasure-trove of colorful diagrams and quirky organizations of things by those who live here, or at least came to stay for a while.
