I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about NYC; but this is a whole different angle; if you will. Gerald Koeppel really alters your view of the city and provides fascinating stories about how the city has grown from "villages" to the grid. His voice is really entertaining; too--its like being with a great tour guide; bringing it all to life for you.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. It is a wonderful book about how New York became New YorkBy Charles LausterNobody knows about how New York became a gridded city. Gerard Koeppel gives us a vivid description of how it probably happened. More than that he makes a powerful argument for an alternate city plan than the grid. It is a wonderful book about how New York became New York.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Engrossing and entertainingBy EAIm an infrequent reader of non-fiction; but having completed this book on New Years eve I cant think of any book Ive enjoyed as much in 2015. While the central story is engrossing with many more historical surprises than I expected; the authors frequent digressions are equally interesting and entertaining. The few but carefully-chosen illustrations beautifully augment the text; and several of the photographs are astonishing - who would have believed that streets were literally bulldozed through hills leaving early homes sitting precariously on newly-formed precipices. Only in New York!
