Counter Culture: New York City's Greatest Diners and Luncheonettes

James T. & Karla L. Murray, words by Emma Orlow.

"For over a century, diners and luncheonettes have been integral parts of daily life in New York City. This book looks at the history, culture, and design of thirty of Manhattan's best-loved examples. Including classic establishments as well as places that put global twists on the tradition. Photographs by husband-and-wife duo James and Karla Murray highlight the business' singular atmospheres, while profiles penned by local food and culture writer Emma Orlow reveal how, in a city defined by constant change, these counters remain places of comfort and connection."
