Life at the Dakota: New York's Most Unusual Address by Stephen Birmingham

4.0

“Life at the Dakota” is a brief history of the Dakota Apartments in New York City - on the decidedly less-fashionable West Side of Central Park. Built during the Guilded Age, it became home to many members of the “New Money” set as well as actors (like Lauren Bacall) and musicians (like John Lennon.) It is an interesting read and will give you some insight into New York culture from 1880-1980.
