I Like it Here

By pico

In a fast-paced world where everyone seems to be chasing the next best trend, an ordinary yet relatable New Yorker goes about his day slowly, while being charmed by the mundane. Part sketchbook, part private journal, and part observational musing, I Like it Here is a celebration of food and beverage spaces in New York City, seen and told through the eyes of Pico. Who happens to be a cat. Restaurants are a large source of comfort, and for him, an experience need not be extraordinary in order to be noteworthy; somehow, the most common encounters weave into imaginative stories worth telling.

Pico is a Brooklyn based food and beverage critic focused on reciprocity in hospitality. He is the writer, photographer, and illustrator for The Pico Review, a collection of his most treasured restaurants, bars, and purveyors. Whether eating a sandwich from the local bodega or drinking a bone-dry martini at a legendary institution, Pico strips away pretense and unlocks the magic of New York dining, without all the noise. This is his first book.
