On that day in 1949, John Cheever took his daughter Susie to a party on Fifth Avenue ("In the brume the long double track of street lamps seems yellow.") Then Christmas: In 1986, Andy Warhol "...went to the Church of the Heavenly Rest to pass out Interviews and feed the poor...Got a lot of calls to go to Christmas parties but I just decided to stay in and I loved it."Then, when I heard a review of the book on NPR, I decided to take the reviewer up on her suggestion of reading an entry of the book every night before going to bed. Now I keep the book by my bed and that's exactly what I do. Come December 31, I'll miss my routine terribly.But there are many many ways to absorb this glorious collection of carefully culled diary entries. Go at it straight on and straight through, or pick and choose as you like. Whichever way you decide to absorb this fascinating book, you won't be sorry. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/131140002-new-york-diaries-1609-to-2009-modern-library-paperbacks-paperback](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/131140002-new-york-diaries-1609-to-2009-modern-library-paperbacks-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
