Why read it?

1 author picked The New York Nobody Knows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love New York City and enjoy walking its streets and neighborhoods. Helmreich produced the consummate walking tour guide to the metropolis.

Helmreich, a great sociologist and a prolific writer was a dear friend and colleague. Sadly, I can no longer share my feelings about the city we love because of his untimely death during the pandemic. I read through this book with tears  in my eyes and use it in my peregrinations through four of the five boroughs—I never get the Staten Island.
