From romantic spots like Le Bernardin to beloved holes-in-the-wall like Corner Bistro, John Donohue renders people’s favorite restaurants in a manner that captures the emotional pull a certain place can have on the hearts of New Yorkers. All the Restaurants in New York is a collection of these drawings, characterized by their appealingly loose and gently distorted lines. These transportive images are intentionally spare, leaving the viewer room to layer on their own meaning and draw connections to their own memories of a place, of a time, of an atmosphere. Featuring an eclectic mix of 100 restaurants—from Minetta Tavern to Frankies 457 and River Café—this charming collection of drawings is accompanied by interviews with the owners, chefs, and loyal patrons of these much-loved restaurants.

Title: Great gift! Conjures up wonderful memories and experiences.
Review: This was a gift for my Dad. We went through all the restaurants together. Some I had been to with as we are foodies, some with the family, and some he shared memories of great times he had with my mom and friends over the years! Great concept to have the sketch/pic of restaurant which jogged our memories of our own experiences. We also loved to read others shared stories!

Title: Simple & Amusing
Review: Aside from eating and traveling, I feel as if this book has cultured me even more from just turning the pages. The drawings are great. Stories are immersive. Comments are witty. I've recently moved very far from the city, so this book is a piece of nostalgia and home all bound into one work of art. Definitely worth the purchase. It also looks beautiful on the shelf once finished.
