Only my favorite book ever. It’s not only one of the greatest love stories of all time, but also a love letter to New York. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve read it and always get something new out of it.

“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.”

“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.”
