An Impressive History,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gramercy Park: An American Bloomsbury (Paperback)
I get a big kick out of learning fun facts about New York with which to impress my friends, and this book did not disappoint. In-depth looks at Gramercy residents such as Peter Cooper, Edwin Booth, and the visual artists of American modernity are very satisfying, and the tone of the book is nicely conversational. Illustrated with both photographs and drawings, it makes a great companion piece for a walk around Gramercy. Not as interesting as books about the "low-life" of New York's past, and (for a book written by a woman) a little in awe of the tremendous MEN who founded and lived around the park-- however, it's a very comprehensive and well-written history of one of New York's oldest neighborhoods.
