A Well-Researched Look Back into New Yory City HistoryBy Robert in NYIf youre interested in the social history of NYC neighborhoods. and want a well-researched. and still very readable account. I recommend this book. It discusses neighborhood evolution in areas like Times Square. Chinatown and Harlem. (The books title gives a hint of some of the stories it tells).Its also has a great bibliography for those who want to keep on reading - theres no one book about NYC that could possibly tell the whole story.The only negative I have is the poor quality of the photos -- there arent many of them. and in this paperback. theyre far from high quality (web sites like those of the NY Public Library. the Museum of the City of NY. and the NY Historical Society have some great on-line photo collections for those interested in better pictorial histories).All-in-all. a very enjoyable read by a guy who did his homework.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
