Summary

With its dramatically lit skyscrapers, twinkling bridges, neon lights, and yellow cabs streaking down Broadway, it's no wonder that New York is the city that never sleeps. When the sun sets on Manhattan, the city is transformed into a dazzling and magical place. From the awesome golden sunsets over the Hudson River to the pale yellow sunrise breaking over the East River, you'll see the world's most popular city illuminated like never before. New York City at Night is a stunning blend of aerial photographs of the city's distinguished skyline and famous landmarks as seen through the lens of world-famous aerial photographer Evan Joseph. What would 42nd Street and Times Square be without neon? These famous locales shine their brightest when the sun goes down.
