Nobody knows the Big Apple better than real New Yorkers. This book
weaves the stories of city dwellers into a nostalgic panorama of
Manhattan as it was from the post-World War II years through the
mid-1970s. New Yorkers recall the days of jazz music,
five-and-dimes, and Friday night boxing at Madison Square Garden.
Kids born and bred in NYC—from Harlem to the Lower East
Side—recount their tales in this ode to the city they love.
