"Together, they serve as a reminder that New York City, devastatingly vast as it can feel, is the sum of so many little parts-lives, stories, efforts to get by-woven together." - Conde Nast Traveler
"These photos document a great collective loss for New York and our shared culture. They also represent a stirring reminder of the importance of photographing, documenting, and celebrating small shops." - Rolando Pujol, The Retrologist
"[The book] captures not just the outward aspect but the communal spirit of these places". - Brooklyn Magazine
"We promise, you will not be disappointed." - Accidentally Wes Anderson
