Tiny New York

Because in a giant city, sometimes the smallest things get overlooked. Tiny New York peeks into the city's nooks and crannies to find the little things that tell the real New York story. Because in New York, Tiny isn't cute. It's tough. Tiny doesn't wait for handouts. It hustles. Tiny isn't insignificant. It's precise. Tiny isn't a jack-of-all-trades. It's the master of one. There are plenty of books about New York City. But there has never been a book about the smallest things in the biggest city.

SUZI SIEGEL, who is little, grew up in a little apartment in the Bronx. She is a former investigative reporter and travel writer. Thus, she is uniquely qualified to write a book full of words about the tiny things in New York City that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Siegel has worked as a crime reporter in Detroit, an assistant to Sean "Diddy" Combs, and a travel writer for Marie Claire magazine. Siegel lives in Jackson Heights, Queens, one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods.
