If you’re a long-time shopper of Beads of Paradise NYC, you’ll remember that we were featured on Betsy Bober Polivy’s website Manhattan Sideways in 2013 — well now we’ll be appearing in her brand new book “Walking Manhattan Sideways”. Since 2011, Betsy has been walking the side streets of Manhattan’s original grid and documenting her journey through her website Manhattan Sideways (sideways.nyc). She has watched cherished shops struggle with rising rent prices and, most recently, suffer at the hands of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. In “Walking Manhattan Sideways”, she celebrates those who have managed to hold on, but also pays a heartfelt tribute to the shops, restaurants, and bars that have permanently closed their doors following this incredibly difficult historic moment. You can follow the link in our profile to purchase the book directly from her, and we expect to be carrying a few books in our shop as well! https://www.gosideways.nyc/book/walking-manhattan-sideways http://sideways.nyc/2013/01/beads-of-paradise/ #manhattansideways #walkingmanhattansideways #sidestreet #manhattan #newbook #paradise #betsyboberpolivy #tributetonyc #shopnyc #explorenyc #explore #happyplace #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHEKeGXBuF4/?igshid=6prnx7wmos9q
