One of my favorite cities is New York City. Typically I\u2019m there visiting with you lovely folks all throughout the year, but it’s been way too long since I’ve been back. I miss it so much! Luckily, we have books to transport us to our favorite places during this pandemic. Kevin Dann\u2019s Enchanted New York: A Journey along Broadway through Manhattan’s Magical Past<\/a><\/em> <\/a>is the perfect escape. We were thrilled to help NYU Press with this mystical read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of books out there about NYC, but Kevin Dann presents a unique look at the history of Manhattan through a \u201cmagical\u201d lens. Through stories of wizards, illuminati, fortune tellers, magicians, and more, Enchanted New York <\/em>begins at Washington\u2019s inauguration and takes the reader on a journey through Broadway and into the modern era. Foreward Reviews<\/a><\/em> says<\/a>: “There are no ancient monuments to mark New York City\u2019s magical history; in their place, Dann\u2019s historical guide chronicles the city\u2019s lesser-known magical past.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the foundation of this campaign, we aimed to reach avid readers \/ book buyers and nonfiction readers. On top of this, we layered in traits like History buffs, Broadway fanatics, those passionate about theater arts, and readers of The NY Times<\/em>, New Yorker<\/em> and\/or NY Daily News<\/em>. And of course, since the book is all about the magical past of Manhattan, we included a test group of people living in New York. With the campaign running during the end of November, we were also sure to include our holiday and Black Friday shoppers. Comps included books like Humans of New York<\/em> by Brandon Stanton, Here in New York<\/em> by E. B. White, and The Bowery: The Strange History of New York’s Oldest Street<\/em> by Stephen Paul DeVillo. Keywords included phrases like history of New York<\/em>, history of Broadway, New York City history<\/em>, NYC books<\/em>, and for New York lovers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
