Weaving the full tapestry of the city's rich gastronomy in nearly 570 A-to-Z entries, Savoring Gotham addresses the food, people, places, and institutions that have made New York cuisine so wildly diverse and immensely appealing. It includes entries by more than 180 food experts, most of them New Yorkers. The Editor-in-Chief, Andrew F. Smith, teaches at the New School in New York and is the author or editor of at least twenty-five books (it is hard to keep count).
