Backs-Books on Coventry,
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio,
has been coming to BEA for
more than 20 years and was
also disappointed that ABA
scheduled fewer educational sessions. On the other
hand, two and a half days
of show-floor time is more
than plenty for me, she
noted.
Jeremy Ellis, general
manager of Brazos Bookstore, in Houston, said, I
havent gone to educational
sessions at BEA since the
Winter Institute began.
What matters most to him is
meeting with small presses
and visiting bookstores and
publishers in Manhattan and
Brooklyn. Were there for
book business, he said. Its
just not all centered on BEA.

It took Franzen 10
years to write Freedom, his last megaselling novel. It could
be said that Purity,
coming about five
years later but with
nearly the same heft
(576 pages), has
arrived in comparatively record time.
Not so, says Jonathan
Galassi, Franzens
longtime editor and
FSGs president and
publisher. The Corrections came out in
2001, and Freedom in
2010, he says. I think
the numbers are a little misleading, perhaps because once
Franzen homes in on
his subject and
themes he writes his
books amazingly
quickly. Its getting to
the point of commitment that is the
variable.
Purity is about a young woman,

Celebrating Hijuelos
His Work Lives On
The sudden death of Oscar Hijuelos
at age 62 in October 2013 was a shock
to the literary world. The widow of
the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer,
Lori Carlson-Hijuelos, knew hed
been working on a novel, but in the
throes of grief forgot about it until
she came across the finished manuscript a couple of months after his
death. She is still very vulnerable
talking about her husband and his
work.
I was in a very bad place right
after his death, she says. I still
am. But I realized that this was so
important. This novel was his last
complete work of art, and my decision to look for a publisher happened quite quickly. I called my
agent that December and said, I
want you to arrange for me to meet
with a number of editors, a very
discerning group, and I will meet
with them in January and February.
And from that group, I will choose
five editors. And thats what I did.
Ultimately, Gretchen Young,
Lori Carlson-Hijuelos
chose Grand Central
from a group of five
editors to publish her
husband, Oscars last
book.

House of Thieves
Charles Belfoure (Sourcebooks Landmark, booth 3039)
PW review excerpt: In this engrossing Gilded Age novel,
Belfoure (The Paris Architect) fully immerses the reader
in the story of an architect forced to help New York
Citys most prominent gang in order to pay off his eldest
sons gambling debt. There are numerous threads and
exciting set pieces, including a series of daring burglaries, but Belfoure holds it all together, resulting in a
memorable, evocative read. (Sept.)
EMILY FRANKLIN
KATE HOSFORD
Purity
Jonathan Franzen (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, booth
3056)
PW review excerpt: Two years out of college, self-conscious, acerbic Purity Pip Tyler is saddled with crushing student loans and an overbearing, emotionally disturbed mother who refuses to reveal the identity of Pips
father. Pip meets the charismatic Andreas Wolf and
lands an internship at his WikiLeaks-like Sunlight Project, based in Bolivia. Franzens greatest strength is his
extensive, intricate narrative webwhich includes a
murder in Berlin, stolen nukes in Amarillo, and a billion-dollar trust. (Sept.)
George
Alex Gino (Scholastic Press, booths 1938, 1939)
PW review excerpt: Gino debuts with the story of fourthgrader George, who knows she is a girl even though the
world sees her as male. With a class production of Charlottes Web on the horizon, George eagerly wants to be
cast as Charlotte the spider. Georges joy during stolen
moments when she can be herself will resonate with
anyone who has felt different, while providing a necessary window into the specific challenges of a child recognizing that they are transgender. (Aug.)

Charlaine Harris (Ace, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: Outsiders swarm the sleepy streets
of Midnight, Tex., as supernatural superstar Harris
returns with another practiced out-of-the-ordinary
mystery (following Midnight Crossroad). Local phone
psychic Manfred Bernardo returns from Dallas, where
a client died during a reading; the clients unstable son
accuses Manfred of absconding with the family jewels.
Rev. Emilio Sheehan, eccentric operator of a pet cemetery, takes care of a young boy who grows supernaturally quickly. And a multinational corporation suddenly reopens the abandoned Midnight Hotel, bringing in indigent seniors from Vegas as its residents. (May)

Jax Miller (Crown, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: Boozing, brawling, and fierce but
emotionally fragile, Freedom Oliver has been pissing
away her life in witness protection like someone with
nothing left to loseuntil fate unexpectedly offers her
one last long shot at redemption. Between the gutsy
heroine and gale-force narrative, this debut thriller hits
like a beer bottle to the head. (June)

Goodbye Stranger
Zeroes
Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan, and Deborah
Biancotti (Simon Pulse, booth 2620, RC31)
PW review excerpt: Fantasists Westerfeld, Lanagan,
and Biancotti blend human dilemmas with superhuman abilities as they trace the intersecting lives of six
teenagers with supernatural powers. Dont look for
laser eye beams or the summoning of hurricane winds
in this book. These heroes (or Zeroes, as they think of
themselves) have powers wrapped up in coercion and
manipulation, from the ability to affect the emotions
of crowds of people to a knack for sweet-talking out of
any situation. With action, romance, and thorny ethical
questions, its a book with a little something for everyone. (Sept.)
Fuzzy Mud
Louis Sachar (Delacorte, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: In his latest middle-grade novel, the
Newbery Medalwinning author of Holes blends elements of mystery, suspense, and school-day life into a
taut environmental cautionary tale about the insatiable
hunger for energy sources and the cost of not doing the
right thing. Sachars story follows a small group of students whose trip into the woods leads to an unplanned
encounter with the fuzzy mud of the titlea substance
of unknown (to them) origin that poses serious health
risks to the kids and their community. (Aug.)

Although the big two of comics publishing, Marvel and DC Comics, and a
number of major indie houses, among them Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, Oni, Archie and Dark Horse, have opted to sit out BEA this yearfear
not, there will still be plenty of comics publishers dotting the Javits Center
floor. And several of the events will also be part of the BookCon scene.
Comics publishers in attendance are bringing along some high-profile
talent, from actor John Leguizamo, who will be promoting a new graphic
memoir for Abrams ComicArts to ever-popular (and bestselling) Scholastic
cartoonists like Jeff Smith and Raina Telgemeier. There will also be plenty
of book debuts, as well as a full slate of comics-themed programming.
Today, at 2 p.m., on the Uptown Stage, PW senior news editor Calvin Reid
will moderate the panel Best in Fall 2015 Graphic Novels, featuring artists
Derf Backderf (Trashed, Abrams), Ben Hatke (Little Robot, First Second),
Jeremy Sorese (Curveball, Nobrow), and Maggie Thrash (Honor Girl, Candlewick). The cartoonists will discuss their upcoming projects and the current state of graphic novel publishing.
At BookCon, on Saturday, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 1A, PW graphic novel
reviews editor Heidi MacDonald speaks to cartoonists Ben Hatke, Jenni
Holm, Jeff Smith, and Raina Telgemeier about
how the popular cartoonists create their work,
while each of the artists draws in front of a live
audience.
Although not exhibiting, Marvel Comics will
be hosting a panel today, at 3:30 p.m., focused on
the recent return of the Star Wars franchise to
the superhero publishing powerhouse. Marvel
editor Jordan White will moderate the discussion with Charles Soule and Alex Maleev, the
writer and artist respectively behind the newly
announced series Star Wars: Lando. Also today,
Marvel executive Daniele Campbell will be on
hand for the panel Reading in the Time of Subscription, in Room 1E07, at 11 a.m.
First Second (booth 3056) is set for a big presence at the show. The Macmillan graphic novel
imprint is championing Zita the Spacegirl
author Ben Hatke, whose forthcoming kids
comic, Little Robot, is set for a September
release (see interview on page 40). Hatke will
also make time in his busy schedule to appear
on BookCons Comics Are Awesome panel at
11:30 a.m. on Saturday, and Graphic Novels: In
the Studio on Sunday at the Macmillan Stage
3139 at 2 p.m. in a behind-the-scenes discussion
along with artists Jonathan Fetter-Vorm and
Pnlope Bagieu moderated by First Second
editor, Calista Brill. Signed copies of the participating artists books will be raffled off at the
ticketed event. First Seconds editorial director,
Mark Siegel, will be joined by Michael Link,
Joseph-Beth Booksellers public relations and
events manager, on Friday at 10 a.m. in Room
1E08 for The Modern Bookstores Graphic
Novel Section, a discussion about how comics
are sold in todays bookstores.
Abrams (booth 2827) is marking BEA with two
big October releases, Ghetto Klown, a graphic
memoir written by actor John Leguizamo,

sano and Shamus Beyale; and Derf Backderfs
Trashed, his upcoming autobio comic about life
as a sanitation worker. Both authors will be signing at the Abrams booth,
Backderf at 3:15 p.m. today, and Leguizamo during BookCon on Sunday at
4:15 p.m.
NBM and its sister company, the kids comics publishing unit Papercutz,
plan to cram a bunch of book debuts into its single shared booth (3065). NBM
will show off previews of Walking Wounded, Uncut Stories from Iraq, by Olivier Morel and Mael; Fires Over Hyperion, by Patrick Atangan; and Religion,
a Discovery in Comics, by Margreet de Heer. Artist Julian Voloj and former
gang leader Benjy Melendez will also be available to promote the recently
released Ghetto Brother, a remarkable comics nonfiction account of how
Melendez brought peace to warring Bronx gangs in the 1970s.
DAY
GRAPHICS
Papercutz, meanwhile, will be promoting a new line of Nickelodeon-branded graphic novels, beginning with the titles Breadwinners and
Sanjay and Craig. The publisher will also be showing off a newly revamped
version of the much missed Nickelodeon Magazine. On top of that, BEA
will see the debut of The Lunch Witch, by Deb Lucke, who will be signing
copies at the publishers booth on Friday at 2 p.m. Review copies will
also be available for Scarlett, by Jon Buller; The Red Shoes and Other Tales,
by Metaphrog; and a reprint of Neil Gaimans Teknophage.
As ever, Diamond Book Distributors, the trade book and pop culture merchandise distributor will play host to a number of independent publishers at
its booth (2740, 2741). This year, the list includes IDW, Top Shelf, Image Comics, Paizo, Valiant, and Lion Forge. The Portland indie Top Shelf will be
debuting Jennifer Haydens breast cancer memoir, The Story of My Tits,
which is set for a September release. Hayden signs galleys of the book Friday at noon, and at BookCon on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Diamonds booth.

What could be a more positive sign of a healthy book industry than the launch
of a new publishing venture? Crooked Lane Books, a new crime fiction imprint,
debuts at BEA with its fall titles. The companys editorial director, Matt Martz,
who learned the ropes at St. Martins Press and Minotaur Books, tells Show
Daily that everything began when he and Dan Weiss, now chief publishing
consultant to Crooked Lane Books, brainstormed a
few years ago with John Lippman, Bookspans CEO.
We started thinking that there might be some holes
in mystery publishing in general, and we had a feeling that there were genres that were underserved.
Because of Bookspans direct contact with its readership, they were seeing from some surveys that readers were asking for things that they werent quite
seeing in their submission pile.
Asked for examples, he says, Our readers are
very interested in having more female sleuths,
Matt Martz
female detectives, be they professional or amateur.
They also love to solve puzzles, so we want to make
sure that they have quality-driven reads with that
element in it. And right now everybody is talking
about suspensebe it psychological, domestic, or
romanticthat popped in the research, too.
Crooked Lane Books also has a special relationship
with Bookspan. As Weiss, formerly publisher at
large at St. Martins Press and managing director
and publisher of Barnes and Nobles educational
publishing company, says, Were an independent
Dan Weiss
publishing company that benefits from some of the
book club infrastructure as well as its sales and marketing resources.
Suggesting that some might think it foolish to start up a new company in
this day and age, Weiss laughs and says, First of all, yes, its a little crazy.
Second, we think we have a pretty good shot because we have a good model.
Our books are reader-focused and data-driven, and we also think that given
the decline in the number of bookstores and reviews, our relationships to
the book clubs gives us an opportunity to showcase our titles to a large and
interested audience.
Crooked Lane Books is supporting new and midlist authors, but also went
after some bestselling writers, including Wendy Corsi Staub, whose first
book with Crooked Lane, Nine Lives (with an announced print run of 75,000
copies), out in October, is the publishers first title. I wanted to write a cozy
and branch out from what I usually do, Staub says. I did a hardcover YA
series a few years back based in Lily Dale, a small upstate New York town
populated entirely by psychic mediums. People have been writing me ever
since asking for more, but I knew I couldnt continue that series. This new
story idea presented itself when a stray pregnant cat landed on my doorstep
in June. So I created a heroine whos just an ordinary mom who is led to Lily
Dale by a pregnant stray cat.
Staub, ever the busy writer, is starting a new Mundys Landing series with
Morrow in September with Blood Red and notes that while she loves doing
suspense with that imprint, its nice to also have the opportunity to do a cozy
with this new house: Anything new and fresh is great to be part of because
it feels like theres been so much reshuffling over the past few yearsthis is
real positive news.
Looking to the future, Weiss notes, We hope within five years to be an
important publisher of another category, possibly romance or science fiction, very much like Berkley or Kensington, who we admire.
You can meet Martz and Weiss at their booth (838B), and Staub will be

of the brain, in the anterior hypothalamus, just above the optic chiasm (Figure

the origin of circadian rhythms are intracellular. If the suprachiasmatic nuclei of
an animal were destroyed, the animals

be disrupted. In such a case, transplanting suprachiasmatic nuclei from a foetus
would reset the circadian rhythms, but

Adam Silvera, whose first novel, More Happy Than Not, is due from SohoTeen June 2, is a native New Yorker, a former bookseller, and a frequenter of
some Manhattan book lovers attractions that he reveals to BEA attendees
who may not yet know about them.
But first, Silvera shares word of his debut novel, which has garnered
impressive pre-pub accolades. Recipient of four starred reviews, including
one from PW, More Happy Than Not centers on Aaron, a 16-year-old who
wants to undergo a memory-altering procedure that will enable him to forget that hes gay. And what I hope is interesting to readers, says the
author, is that no one is forcing the procedure on Aaronits very much his
own choice.
Though Silvera says that he contemplated trying various genres when he
tackled his first novel, he decided to forego dystopian and high-action
options in favor of what he calls a less commercial, more genuine story. I
wanted my novel to be more self-contained, and to in some ways reflect my
own personal coming-out as a teenager. This is a very personal novel to me,
and though I have other books in the works, they feel a bit more distant.
When Im asked years from now what is my favorite book Ive written, I can
easily foresee answering that it is this one.
Now 24, Silvera notes that his love of literature deepened during his tenure as a Manhattan bookseller, first at Barnes & Noble and then at Books of
Wonder. I feel as though Ive been working toward this moment since I was
19, he says of More Happy Than Nots imminent release.
For those interested in exploring Manhattan beyond the Javits floor, here is
Silveras annotated listing of his favorite literary hangouts.
Books of Wonder: My absolute favorite childrens bookstore in the universe. This bookstore has been around for over 30 years and you must make
it a point to visit or return to this indie to view, and maybe even buy, some of
their Old & Rare collection, which includes a galley of Harry Potter and the
Sorcerers Stone, and to buy some signed new releases. (18 W. 18th St.,
between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, 212-989-3270)
McNally Jackson: Whereas Books of Wonder excels with childrens literature, McNally Jackson is where I go for my adult new releases, and no, it has
nothing to do with the fact that Taylor Swift shops there, too. The store has
two floors of art books, fiction, nonfiction, childrens, and more, and their
funny Twitter account (@McNallyJackson) keeps me up-to-date on new
releases, events, and literary miscellany. (52 Prince St., between Lafayette
and Mulberry Streets, 212-274-1160)
Housing Works Bookstore Cafe: This location doubles as both a bookstore
and cafe, where you can buy some music and a new novel, or write your own
over a cup of coffee. All of their profits go toward Housing Works, an organization fighting to end AIDS. The store even sells ARCs for anyone looking to
acquire even more galleys during BEA week. (126 Crosby St., between
Houston and Prince Streets, 212-334-3324)
Alices Tea Cup: Skip the pizza trip this time around and head straight to
New York Citys most whimsical tea house. They serve Wonderland waffles,
Alices Mad Morning Tea, Alices Curious French Toast, and sorbets. They

bookshelves, but when youre in Central Park (you are planning on strolling
in the park, right?), you must go to the Alice statue and get some photos
with a gigantic Alice, Mad Hatter, and White Rabbit; no filters necessary for
this one. Pair this trip with Alices Tea Cup if youre feeling extra zany.
(Enter Central Park near East 76th and walk south toward East 75th Street.)
Hans Christian Andersen Monument: Dont turn off your phone cameras
just yet. While in Central Park [near Alice], you should also cozy up with
another childrens book legend, Hans Christian Andersen, the guy who
gave us so many awesome fairy tales, including The Ugly Duckling. In fact,
theres also a smaller statue of a duck looking up at Hansand its amazing. (Walk south from the Alice statue to the west of Conservatory Water,

of five hours, coming in together at 4:45:01. Says Foreman, Crossing the finish line was the best finish to any race ever because she was with me, and I
could see the pride in her face despite her exhaustion.
The experience got him so hooked on running that over the course of the
following year, he ran four half-marathons, three marathons, and one
55-mile race. Writing about his experience in My Year of Running Dangerously (Blue Rider Press, Oct.) grew out of what he learned about himself
during the training and race experience. This was a reawakening process.
As I went through it, I thought, This is a really nice story. I wrote this for the
middle of the packers, for all of us out there who struggle to make ourselves
go out the door on days when its too cold or miserable, whether its running,
bicycling, or anything we ought to do because we know its healthy. Its easy,
as you get older, to get buried under work and concerns about our families
and responsibilities, and make all of life revolve them. I found through this
process of getting back to running that theres much more to life.
And hes still at it. In fact, coinciding with his pub date, Foreman is running five marathons in Maryland and New York City the week before he

Debut Author on Fire

Many of the characters had come to Hallberg earlier. But it took several
months to devise the novels seven-book structure, which alternates the
19761977 period with earlier times, themselves broken up by brief interludes in the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the structural stuff around the books
precipitated out of reading Bolaos 2666, Hallberg says.
The first draft of City on Fire took three years, and the birth of Hallbergs
first child, to complete. No worthy problem is solved on the plane of its
original conception, Hallberg says, quoting Einstein to explain why he
thought having kids (he has two) would give him something deeper for the
storys ending. The completed novel took another three years of revising.
Clearly, it was worth the effort.
Hallbergs editor will be talking about the novel at todays BEA Buzz
Panel, Room 1E12/1E13/1E14, at 4:155:30 p.m., and tomorrow he will join

of the United Nations on 24 October 1945. It is the founding document of the United Nations that sets its mission to save
humanity from war; to reaffirm human rights and the dignity and worth of the human person; to proclaim the equal rights of
men and women and of nations large and small; and to promote the prosperity of all humankind. The Charter is the cornerstone
of international peace and security and an enduring symbol of the United Nations.

flips a switch on top of the dome shape and a robot unfolds. After a temporary fright, she helps the robot right itself and they take a step together. In
that moment, she crosses the line to being responsible for this little thing,
Hatke says. Its an adventure, but also a meditation on friendship and summertime.
The project is the first hes crafted with very beginning readers in mind,
Hatke notes. It grew out of a random visual of a little robot who had one
piece fall off, and then it all fell apart. Hatke had been writing the story as a
newspaper-style comic strip in his sketchbook and posting the strips on his
blog for the past few years. I did 30 of them and realized this guy is definitely a character, he says. The robot appeared in an early draft of his 2014
picture book, Julias House for Lost Creatures, but then he drifted over into
his own story.
Much of Little Robot is drawn from life, notes Hatke, informed by lots of
walks near his Shenandoah Valley home, and also helped along by a special
art modelthen six-year-old Julia, one of his five daughters. While I was
drawing, Id ask Julia to do some gestural things and poses like squatting
down, things that are very unique to how a child moves, he recalls. His children are a reliable test audience for his work now, says Hatke: Ill read to
them around the kitchen table, and eventually Ill say, Lets have some dinner and finish the story later. If they say, No, no! Tell it now! I know Ive got
something.

warning signs that [other] kids knew about, but they didnt come forward.
We need students to recognize these signs of potential threats and learn
what to do with them.
Using court records, police reports, personal journals, and social media
postings, Langman analyzes 48 shooters in his book. He explains that these
people generally falls into one of three categories. One is psychopathic,
someone without a conscience who is very narcissistic, meets his own needs
at the expense of others, lacks empathy, and believes that rules and laws
dont apply to him because hes special. Then theres the psychotic. This is
someone who is not fully functioning in reality and has a psychotic disorder
such as schizophrenia. They may have paranoid delusions or delusions of
grandeur, and often have poor social skills and are misfits. The third category is what I call traumatized shooters. These are kids from broken homes,
having alcoholic, drug-addicted parents. There is domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, and sometimes sexual abuse as well. They bounce
around from parent to parent to grandparent, sometimes in and out of foster homes, so theres chronic instability and trauma in the form of one type
of abuse after another.
While Langman targets his book for professionals in education, law enforcement,
and mental health, as well as anyone interested in school safety, he tells Show Daily,
This book is also for people who are interested in the criminal mind or true crime
stories, who want to know what to do about
violence. In almost every case I looked at,
theres a long trail of warning signs, and if
we as a society educate our professionals,
parents, and students, we can do a lot more
to keep everybody safe.
Today, at 1 p.m., Langman signs copies of

carting around 60 pounds of books. Librarians are a huge inspiration to
Slaughter; she put a librarian in Pretty Girls to thank all the librarians who
inspired me to be a readerwhich is what inspired me to be a writer. She is

course, with a foodie protagonist like Thorvald and a setting like Minnesota,
props include quintessential culinary delights particular to the region that
will surely warm the hearts of any readers lucky enough to have partaken of
such delicacies: lutefisk, hotdish, and [dessert] bars.
Stradal says that he wanted to hang his story around food because, he
confesses, he has always been intrigued by the dichotomy of Midwestern
cuisine and because food is so central to peoples lives. Growing up in the
1980s, Stradal remembers meals from his childhood as bland and boring,
with an emphasis on processed foods from packages. He describes the current state of Midwestern cuisine as traditional, but in recent years theres
been a confident stride toward eating local and organic foods. Minnesotans are now conscientious of their food choices in a way that wasnt true
when I was growing up, he says. Its interesting to me to set this novel in
the context of this culinary revolution.
In a way, he says, this new emphasis on eating fresh foods hark back to an
earlier era: one of his main sources in conceptualizing the old-school
meals prepared by Thorvald in her pop-up restaurants was a spiral-bound
book of recipes compiled by the church ladies at the Lutheran church his
grandmother attended in Hunter, N.D., west of Fargo.

The author of series starring Scaredy Squirrel and Chester the cat, Mlanie Watt showcases a considerably smaller creature in Bug in a Vacuum
(Tundra Books, Aug.). The premise is not exactly standard picture book
fare: a bugs life changes with the click of a switch when he flies through an
open door and is sucked into a vacuum cleaner bag. Trapped in the darkness, he moves through denial, bargaining, anger, despair, and acceptance
as he comes to terms with his uncertain fate.
This is definitely a departure for me, says Watt of her latest work. It
took me in a totally different direction. The author hatched the story idea
while spring-cleaning her Montreal home. I realized I had vacuumed a
few bugs, and began trying to put myself in their place, she recalls. I figured they must still be alive in the bag and began wondering what was happening to themand if they were upset in there. I ended up emptying that
bag right away for sure.
As authors are wont to do, Watt decided to turn that quotidian incident
into a storyand was inspired to use Kbler-Rosss five stages of grief as a
model. I wanted to introduce those different emotions without being too
dark, which was a real challenge for me, she notes. I didnt want to focus
necessarily on grief or death, but to use the concept to make it relatable to
kids, and show them how to deal with lifes challenges or surpriseslike
the bug who finds himself in a vacuum.
Watt also took her art in a new direction in
Bug in a Vacuum, which she created with various media and assembled in Photoshop. I
like to challenge myself and do something
visually different with each book or series,
she says. My new book has a different look
than the others, and is loaded with layers of
different textures. My files were so big that
the project really strained my computer.
The author signs ARCs of Bug in a Vacuum
today, 22:30 p.m., at Table 3, and later will
visit the Penguin Random House Canada
booth (3151) to greet fans. Shes looking forward to introducing booksellers to her new
book, which has been long in the coming.

The actual making of the book took more than a year, but my initial idea

For kimchi and karaoke, its hard to beat Koreatown, aka Little Korea.
Mainly concentrated on 32nd Street, with some spillover into surrounding
streets both south and north of this strip, its a Seoul-ful jumble of Koreanowned restaurants, shops, salons, and spas. Authentic BBQ is available
around the clock at many of the all-night spots on 32nd Street. For succulent
dishes with stellar views, book a table at Gaonnuri, on the 39th floor of a
Koreatown skyscraper. (1250 Broadway between 31st & 32nd Streets, 212971-9045, www.gaonnurinyc.com)
Knockout Drinks
Although the rough and tumble of Times Square is a distant memory, you
can still find a few drinking dens that evoke the bygone days of the neighborhoods colorful past. Jimmys Corner is a welcoming dive bar off Times
Square owned by an old boxing trainer, as if you wouldnt guess by all the
framed photos of boxing greats (and lesser known fighters, too). (140 W. 44th
St., between Sixth and Seventh Avenues)
NoMadic Dining
Sharing the same name as the celebrated hotel it inhabits, NoMad has sealed
its rep as one of Manhattans culinary highlights. Carved up into a series of
distinctly different spacesincluding a see-and-be-seen Atrium, the stately
old-world Parlour, and snacks-only Librarythe restaurant is the hipper,
(slightly) more relaxed sibling of Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park. The
menus are eclectic, Eurocentric, and, true to chef Daniel Humms reputation, just a little playful. (1170 Broadway at 28th Street, 347-472-5660, www
.thenomadhotel.com)
Dockside Views
Salvaged from the bottom of the sea (or at least the Chesapeake Bay), the
Lightship Frying Pan and the two-tiered dockside bar where its parked are
fine go-to spots for a sundowner. On warm days, the rustic open-air space
brings in the crowds, who come to laze on deck chairs, eat burgers off the
sizzling grill, drink ice-cold beers, and admire the fine views across the
Hudson to, uh, New Jersey. (Pier 66 at West 26th Street, 212-989-6363, www

Tired of convention food? There are plenty of places for a quick (and good)
bite within walking distance of Javits. Heres a sampling provided by Skyhorse Publishing from one of its new titles, Not for Tourists: Illustrated Guide
to New York City. Stop by its booth (745) to see this book and the other titles
the press is featuring.
Gotham West Market: This is not the food court you grew up with. Featuring
a variety of gourmet food vendors from ramen and tacos to tapas and ice
cream, this foodie heaven makes the perfect lunch destination. (600 11th
Ave., between 44th and 45th Streets, 212-582-7940)
Print Restaurant: Featuring a rotating menu of seasonal and sustainable
cuisine, this eatery is a welcome refuge in this part of Manhattan. Head up
to the rooftop lounge for a pre- or post-meal cocktail. (653 11th Ave.,
between 47th and 48th Streets, 212-757-2224)
Market Diner: Sometimes you want a fancy meal served up by a celebrity chef.
Other times you just want to sit at a counter or in a booth for some simple
grub like a BLT or a western omelet. Welcome home and enjoy the classic
diner atmosphere. (572 11th Ave., between 43rd and 44th Streets, 212-244-2888)
Daisy May BBQ: Step up to the counter at this BBQ joint for messy (and
tasty) eats in a casual setting. Dont leave without trying a gigantic beef rib
that would make even Fred Flintstone happy. (623 11th Ave., between 45th
and 46th Streets, 212-977-1500)
Trestle on Tenth: An excellent representation of Chelseas dining scene,
this restaurant is hip, local, and offers a tight-knit menu of delicious New
American fare. Highly recommended. (242 10th Ave., between 24th and 25th
Streets, 212-645-5659)
Kava Cafe: Get your brunch on or just hang out with a cup of coffee and
fresh pastry. You can also dig into a full breakfast on weekday mornings.
(470 W. 42nd St., near 10th Avenue, 212-239-4442)
Hallo Berlin: Ever eat in a beer garden next to an authentic piece of the
Berlin Wall? Didnt think so. Heres your chance to sip giant steins of
German beer and enjoy the best wurst in the city. (626 10th Ave., between
44th and 45th Streets, 212-977-1944)
Pio Pio: This Peruvian restaurant is known for its perfectly moist rotisserie
chicken. It also serves up other South American specialties, like ceviche
and unique beverages. (604 10th Ave., between 43rd and 44th Streets, 212459-2929)
Taboon: You dont have to settle for typical midtown lunch fare during BEA.
Case in point: this Middle Eastern restaurant has great food and is also a
good bang for your buck. (773 10th Ave., at 52nd Street, 212-713-0271)
Cafe Grind: This neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot is a friendly little
oasis in midtown. It also makes quality espresso for those who need their
caffeine fix. (477 10th Ave., between 36th and 37th Streets, 212-279-4100)
To celebrate prints everlasting power in a fast-paced era dominated by Kindles, pay a visit to one of these five haunts that both conjure New Yorks literary past and prove its still very much thriving.
Blue Bar: The 1920s, when The Vicious Circle convened at the Algonquin
Hotel for a double bill of Round Table lunch and laughter, were glorious
years at this classic Midtown hotel. Today, ensconced in the circa-1933 Blue
Bar, you can almost feel the vibrant spirits of Dorothy Parker, Franklin
Adams, and Robert Benchley while sipping a potent gin martini amid the
artwork of Al Hirschfeld. (59 W. 44th St., between Fifth and Sixth Avenues,
212-840-6800, www.algonquinhotel.com/blue-bar/)
Petes Tavern: A visit to this Gramercy staple is typically inspired by the simple desire to wash down a mammoth burger with a pint. Yet this watering
hole, which dates from 1864 (there are warring claims about whether its the
citys oldest drinking establishment), was once frequented by wordsmiths. O.
Henry, the short story master born William Sydney Porter, was a regular
here when it was called Healys, purportedly penning The Gift of the Magi
in one of its booths. The original rosewood bar also lured Ludwig Bemelmans, where he dreamed up the whimsical Madeline series. (129 E. 18th St.,
between Irving Place and Third Avenue, 212-473-7676, petestavern.com)
White Horse Tavern: Its rich bohemian past may no longer be as robustly
apparent, but back in the 1950s and 60s, this West Village mainstay teemed
with writers like Dylan Thomas, who famously imbibed here just before his
death, and James Baldwin. Plans for the countrys most well-regarded indie
newspaper, the Village Voice, were even hatched here. Sit outside with a
beer like all the other revelers drawn to this animated saloon, and its easy
to see why Jack Kerouac also kept returningand getting kicked out. (567
Hudson St., between W. 11th and Perry Streets, 212-989-3956)
The Half King: Owned by writers Sebastian Junger and Scott Anderson, as
well as director and producer Nanette Burstein, the Half King is an inviting
Chelsea pub with a quiet back garden, where you can enjoy homey fare like
lamb shepherds pie. (505 W. 23rd St., at 10th Avenue, 212-462-4300, theAlia Akkam, adapted from Newyork.com
