This guidebook describes nearly one hundred select restaurants and gourmet shops and reveals the otherwise vanished city where 19th-century Paris—with all its romance, history, and beauty—still exists.

This guide directs you to the tobacconists, wine merchants, coffee roasters, jewelers, and pasta makers that have delighted New Yorkers and visitors alike for generations.

The three walking tours described in The Impressionists’ Paris identify 12 precise locations where the artists set up their easels to paint their Parisian cityscapes, and invite the reader to view the city of today side by side with the paintings.

Four walking tours through some of the most picturesque and historic districts of the city follow Picasso from the gaslit garrets of Montmartre to the Left Bank quarter where he sat out the Occupation.
