Downtown: My Manhattan by Pete Hamill

5.0

A non-fiction love letter to NYC. Pete Hamill lives and breathes the city through his words. This reads like a novella but provides you with a textbook or two worth of history about Downtown Manhattan. Somehow reading this felt incredibly light and easy but I came away with so much knowledge of the history of the city I call home as well as an endless list of places to visit and revisit.

A must-read for anyone in or interested in NYC from the native to someone who has never been but yearns to know its streets.
