Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style to an alternative New York

So, you want to find a portal to an alternative New York?

Explore the San Remo area of the city as this is the posh area where many of the rich kids seem to live. Take time to wander around Central Park as the novel’s events all happen in and around, and even underneath this iconic park. Careful when you get to 79th St Transverse though as that’s where we meet Becky at the start of the book.
