Meet Phroebe. A loveable cockroach living with her family in an alley on the Lower East Side in New York City. Despite being told by her overly-cautious parents that she has everything she needs right in front of her, Phroebe can't help but wonder what else exists in the big world outside her alley (also known as Manhattan). The story charts her journey through the city while mapping the best restaurants, drinks and meals from lower to upper Manhattan. All from the eyes of a New York foodie by the name of Phroebe. Phroebe in the city is the coming of age of a New York cockroach with a pure heart and a nuanced palette who finds her way from the dirty alley to fine dining at some of the world's best restaurants - making her dreams come true.
