Publisher's summary

New York City is unique, vibrant, exciting and a melting pot of cultures and values. But sometimes, living in the Big Apple can lead to twists, turns, and unexpected outcomes.

The Big Apple Bites Back portrays life in NYC-the people, neighborhoods, the workplace, dashed dreams, and life on the street.

The stories attempt to capture the city's spirit, with tales about how things occasionally go awry and how even the unexpected can enliven life there. When that happens, New Yorkers try to change the situation, go with the flow, or laugh about it and move on.

At the very least, The Big Apple Bites Back reveals what it's like to live and work in "The City That Never Sleeps."

Bitter sweet NYC

It takes years of living and breathing the excitement and harshness of NYC as well as a few years away enjoying the California desert to be able to write such an accurate and hysterical compilation of real life situations. A brilliant, highly entertaining book and at the same time a Dantesque warning for anyone dreaming to move in to this mad mad melting pot. I loved the book and highly recommend it!
