Quintessential New Yorker Rosy Cole can't wait to show visiting cousin Duncan her city's best sights. But Duncan demonstrates that he has a mind of his own as Rosy's excursions become detoured again and again. Rosy's frequently exasperated narration provides a pretty comprehensive picture of Manhattan's high points; Duncan's diversions--to subway musicians, a snowball fight in Central Park--give the city and the story soul.
