The more than 75 essays in this book cover a variety of topics, including:
-How do New Yorkers react during disasters?-Maritime history (the Hudson River)
-Crowds, space, and population growth
-1908: a year in History history
-Jewish Daily Forward
-What happens when a neighborhood loses its tony ZIP code? A winning and informative gift book for every fan of "the city," Only in New York is elegantly written and solidly reported.
