Book Description
This innovative guide brings together a dazzling miscellany of New Yorkers - writers, artists, athletes, actors, politicians, and famed visitors - and explores the places where their presence continues to be felt. Each of the 100 lives is profiled in a brilliantly succinct biography, followed by a brief description and history of several sites where the individual lived, worked, or otherwise spent time. John Lennon, Henry James, Tallulah Bankhead, Dorothy Parker, Dawn Powell, Diego Rivera, Frank Sinatra, Stanford White, Edgar Allan Poe, Diana Vreeland, Walt Whitman, Weegee, Babe Ruth, Jackson Pollock, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Andy Warhol are among the many luminaries portrayed here. The book includes 100 photographs, a number of neighborhood maps, and indexes of different eras and professions.
