The Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: New York City

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

David Borgenicht is the creator and coauthor of all the books in the Worst-Case Scenario series, and is president and publisher of Quirk Books (www.quirkbooks.com). He visits New York every month, and has only been caught in the subway doors once. He lives in Philadelphia.

Ben H. Winters lives in Brooklyn, where he writes for the theater, hangs out with his little family, and periodically takes the F train to Coney Island to root for the Cyclones. This is Ben’s first book, and he’s delighted that—just like another great story of New York, Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence—it includes a chapter about a hot dog eating contest.

Brenda Brown is an illustrator and cartoonist whose work has been published in many books and publications, including the Worst-Case Scenario series, Esquire, Reader’s Digest, USA Weekend, 21st Century Science & Technology, the Saturday Evening Post, and the National Enquirer.
