Perletti New York Umbrella - Long Stick

The wonderfully vibrant colours of this umbrella, from expert Italian umbrella makers Perletti, make one of the most famous cities in the world look fabulous.

New York, New York, by Frank Sinatra, sums up how New York inspires dreams and aspirations.

♫ My little town blues, 

Are melting away, 

I'm gonna make a brand new start of it, 

In old New York. 

If I can make it there, 

I'd make it anywhere, 

It's up to you, 

New York, New York. ♫

Now for a bit of useless information (unless you do a lot of pub quizzes); Frank Miller, of DC Comics fame, said that "Superman's Metropolis is New York in the daytime; Batman's Gotham City is New York at night."
