Klappentext

Ria Sim, the creator of the popular Instagram account @coffeecakescafe, might be New York City's biggest fan. She herself describes New York City as her soulmate (though it started out as just a crush when she lived in the Bay Area). Now a full-time Manhattan resident, Ria sees the best in the city: she's moved by the simplicity of the buildings against the sky, a single flower on a not-so-clean sidewalk and the ever-rotating, meticulously curated decorations adorned on a brownstone in the West Village. She draws everything from local landmarks like Joe's Pizza and the Stonewall Inn to strangers' doorsteps and snow-covered yellow cabs. Dear New York, I Love You allows you to see New York through Ria's eyes and in all seasons-it's a colourful celebration, a love letter and a beautiful art book all in one.
