Bonjour New York

As portable as a map but as informative as a guide, these hybrid Bonjour city map-guides by globe-trotting filmmaker Marin Montagut offer his curated recommendations for shopping, dining, and attractions. ?The Bonjour pocket-sized map-guides—made of water-resistant, tear-proof paper—feature rare and soulful places that exude an enviable je ne sais quoi. From bakeries to taco trucks, bicycle rentals to antiques shops, or boutiques to toy stores, each recommendation includes a succinct anecdote, tip, or description—illustrated by Marin Montagut’s watercolor travel sketches—to tempt bon vivants everywhere. In Bonjour New York, roam the Big Apple in shoes tailor-made by one of the city’s oldest cobblers, handpick the fabric and cut for customized jeans, find respite in the urban oasis of a secret East Village garden, or sip cocktails in the city’s best speakeasy. Featured neighborhoods include SoHo, NoLIta, and TriBeCa; the West Village and Chelsea; the Lower East Side and the East Village; Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill; Greenpoint and Williamsburg.
