  Ask a Native New Yorker is Jake Dobkin's essential guide to the Big Apple's culture, people, and lifestyles. 
   
   
   
  As a third-generation New Yorker who was born, bred, and educated there, Jake Dobkin was such a fan of his hometown that he started Gothamist, a popular and acclaimed website with a focus on news, events, and culture in the city, and Ask a Native New Yorker became one of its most popular columns. This book version features all original writing and aims to help newbies evolve into real New Yorkers with humor and a command of the facts. 
   
   
   
  In forty-eight short essays and eleven sidebars, the book offers practical information about transportation, apartment hunting, and even cultivating relationships for anyone fresh to the Big Apple. Subjects include "Why is New York the greatest city in the world?," "Where should I live?," "Where do you find peace and quiet when you feel overwhelmed?," and "Who do I have to give up my subway seat to?" 
   
   
   
  Part philosophy, part anecdote collection, and part no-nonsense guide, Ask a Native New Yorker will become the default gift for transplants to New York, whether they're here for internships, college, or starting a new job.

  PARASITE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BONG JOON HO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Parasite is a South Korean dark comedy thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho. The film follows the Kim family, struggling in poverty, as they scheme to infiltrate the wealthy Park family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals. As the Kims secure jobs in the Park household, the story explores themes of class disparity, deception, and survival. Through its mix of humor and social commentary, Parasite critiques the division between the rich and the poor, using sharp satire and suspense to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal inequalities. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The house of the Parks, which is credited to a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja in the film, was actually a fully constructed set.” 
    
  “Ki-woo's role as a tutor was chosen by director Bong Joon Ho to demonstrate the only plausible way that individuals from two vastly different social classes could meet and interact in the context of the story.” 
    
  “Bong Joon Ho created numerous sketches for the design of the wealthy family’s house. When the production designer shared the designs with an actual architect, the architect remarked that no one would build a house in such a ridiculous manner.” 
    
  “Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, making history as the first Korean film to earn the prestigious award.”
