Reading a Book That is Set in Your Neighborhood
I just moved to New York, so I had to read a New York book. I chose Just Kids. The way she romanticizes stretching a dollar has inspired me to be cinematically frugal. Helpful, considering I chose to live in the most expensive place in the world barring Gstaad.

Just Kids

“The most beautiful and heartbreaking story of old New York that I've re-read again and again. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy if you haven't had a chance to.”

“Has remained in my top 5 favorite books from the moment I read it (15 years ago).”

“This book was on my mom's nightstand when I was a kid and I thought the cover image was her and dad with my mom wearing a wig. Also extra fun for me because Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe's first apartment was down the street from where I grew up in Brooklyn! 160 Hall Street for 80 bucks a month.Beautiful book as expected from such a thoughtful and brilliant writer.”
