Talk about TRAVEL THERAPY! You have to love a book that shares insider tips from top celebrities about their favorite things to do in New York City and that’s exactly what author Jeryl Brunner delivers with My City, My New York. Love, love, love this!
I met Jeryl when I first moved to Manhattan and we because fast friends talking about our book projects and different places we’ve traveled around the world. When my book, Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need to Go?, came out featuring top places to visit based on what you’re going through in life, Jeryl was there to support my book and attended my book launch party in the Palace Hotel’s fabulous Madison Room. She was one of my biggest cheerleaders and now I’m thrilled to do the same for her!
In a few hours I’m heading to Jeryl’s launch party at Millesime at the always hip and happening Carlton Hotel!
What makes Jeryl’s book, My City, My New York (Globe Pequot Press), so special is that over the years she has gathered quotes from hundreds of A-list celebrities and notable New Yorkers about their favorite things to do in the city. Their personal stories including stories from Matthew Broderick, Tina Fey, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Edward Norton, Sutton Foster, Woody Allen, Chris Noth and many more are included in My City, My New York.
One of the first questions people always ask is how did Jeryl get access to so many amazing celebs and famous New Yorkers? Jeryl started out working at In Style magazine for nine years then went on to work as a freelancer for other top publications gathering contacts and quotes along the way. Her impressive publishing credits include O: The Oprah Magazine, People, US Weekly, National Geographic Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Delta Sky.
What I think truly makes My City, My New York stand out is that it goes far beyond your usual travel guide by literally giving you exclusive access to some of New York’s best kept secret hot spots. Another bonus, many of the places featured in Jeryl’s book you can visit for FREE! It’s like having your own list of some of the best free things to do in New York City that celebrities take advantage of so why shouldn’t you?!
Some media types and authors are also featured in My City, My New York, and I’m very honored Jeryl chose to include a quote from me talking about one of my favorite hidden gems in New York.
If you live in New York or you’re coming to visit or even if New York is on your wish list for someday, My City, My New York is the kind of unique and authentic book, written with passion and heart, that you want really need to have to help you discover wonderful things about the city and learn more about the celebrities and famous people who live here.
Looking forward tonight to toasting Jeryl and her success with her new book at Millesime, a NYC hidden gem itself!
