Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-10 00:00:00 Josiah Grimmitt I'm doubting that this book is really about New York. I've read a few books about cities...city memoirs, I suppose, and I usually walk away with the feeling that I know the city a little bit. This book seemed much more about its author than the city. Mayber its unfair since I've been to New York twice and I alrteady have my own opinions, but I just didn't feel like the author ushered me in...at all. This book could have just as easily been about any other city, and sure, it might not have had the same richness...but the vast majority of the content would still be in place....this is a failure of the book in my estimation, but I realize I haven't bothered to make much of an arguement as to why.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-24 00:00:00 Curt Lindenberger This was a very interesting read for me...I think anyone could enjoy it, but I also feel that the only people who can truly appreciate Frazier's NYC experiences are those who are very familiar with the city and probably have lived there...someone without enough knowledge of NYC most likely wouldn't pick up on a lot of the quirks and intricacies that he makes so very colorful. Having said that, if you have any NYC experience or live/have lived there, this is a must read! It's really well written and was definitely hard for me to put down anytime I had to.
