St. Marks Is Dead: The Many Lives of America's Hippest Street by Ada Calhoun

4.0

I only know the St. Marks of today, from 2018 and 2019, between the two years I've lived in Queens and commuted in to work and go to school at NYU. Obviously, I know that St. Marks has a deep history, and this book is an eager and intense look at some of that history without being a "history" book.

It's anecdotal. It's storytelling from people living within St. Marks. I also really enjoyed Ada's candor and added personal history, too.

Would have loved more pictures though.
