Wonderful little book which goes block by block through 200 years of Bowery history, often with some exciting then-and-now photographs. Ferrara is not the most engrossing writer, but the book is well researched and a great addition to the NYC history shelves. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The cultural and criminal history of downtown Manhattan comes to life in this far-reaching exploration of a legendary street. Originally a Lenape trail running the length of Manhattan Island, The Bowery has become one of the most notorious streets in America. Developed in stages by the Dutch, the British, and then Americans, this stretch of street has continually risen from its own ashes, experiencing a seemingly endless cycle of popularity, poverty and prosperity. The Bowery has been celebrated as a haven of culture, entertainment, and theatre. But is has just as often been denigrated as New York's "skid row." Home to bums, bohemians, criminals, artists, performers, and the rich and poor alike, The Bowery has attracted the most diverse population of any place in New York City's history. Travel down the Bowery with New York City historian Eric Ferrara, as he explores its rich, fascinating, and at times, troubling past. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
