New York has always been among the world’s most filmed metropolitan areas, using its apartments casing tenants like Rosemary’s baby as well as the Royal Tenenbaums, its skyscrapers scaled by the likes of Ruler Kong and graffiti artists and its own rubble-strewn streets prowled by everyone from Travis Bickle to Carrie Bradshaw.

In this pocket guide to NY and its films, Mark Asch explores the Big Apple block by block and neighbourhood by neighbourhood, jogging at night iconic bench from Manhattan, eating at Katz’s Deli from When Harry Met Sally and mooching throughout the Coney Island boardwalk like one of The Warriors. Retracing the methods of countless iconic actors, cinematographers and directors, he attracts up a unique cinematic map of THE TOWN That Hardly ever Sleeps.
