New Yorkers

 

Title: NEW YORKERS: A FEISTY PEOPLE WHO WILL UNSETTLE, MADDEN, AMUSE AND ASTONISH YOU
Author: Clifford Browder
Publisher: Cliff Browder Books
Pages: 345
Genre: Memoir (with bits of history and travel lore thrown in)

A quirky memoir by a longtime resident with bits of history and travel lore thrown in…

A quirky memoir by a longtime resident, with glances at his city’s history and bits of travel lore all rolled into one.

Readers will learn how the Statue of Liberty almost didn’t happen; how the author found the sacred in the city, and learned the Charleston on You Tube; how  mobsters shared the corridors of the legendary Waldorf Astoria hotel with the Duke and Dutchess of Windsor and an ex-president; and how the author had an affair with a Broadway chorus boy (if the Cardinal Archbishop of New York could do it, so could he).

Plus Mohawks, hustlers, scams and cons, wigmakers and crematory managers, racoons in Central Park, Trump Tower, cholera, and the Beatles.  A fun book, but with some serious moments.

New York is the most exciting city in the world.  The author wants to share it with everyone.

My Review

New Yorkers had its own unique style to it that made it stand out among the other New York travel books. The memoir style kept things interesting and held my attention as I learned about New York, its history, and its people.
