In this album of vintage photos and first-person reminiscences, you can experience the mosaic of mid-century Manhattan. Ranging from the early post-World War II years when the city came into its own to the mid-1970s when the city nearly went bust -- and featuring interviews with such NY luminaries as Jimmy Breslin, Herman Badillo, Elaine Kaufman, Jerry Della Femina, and Pauline Trigere. It will take you to SoHo before it had a name; the Brill Building when it was home to Tin Pan Alley songwriters; Harlem and the Lower East Side; Ratner's deli and Little Italy trattorias; the Garden, the Garment District, Greenwich Village, 52nd Street jazz joints and the Fillmore East. "A powerful testament to the mystique of magical, memorable Manhattan."
