History of the Americas; Humour

Updated with sixteen new pages of quips, remarks and exchanges from the creators of overheardinnewyork.com.

The streets of New York are full of characters who don't mince words-or care who hears them. This collection presents some of the most outlandish real life conversations overheard on the sidewalk, in the subway, and at the next table. It's the Big Apple peeled, a hysterically unvarnished portrait of the city that never sleeps-and often neglects to think before it speaks in public.
