An Amazon Best Book of November 2015: “In this – sometimes history book, sometimes tour guide – Ada Calhoun crafts an account of New York’s St. Marks Place in the most wonderful way- through the stories of the people who lived there. Journalist and local native, Calhoun knits together stories, essays, photos, and personal accounts to document a 400 year history of what is considered one of the most culturally significant streets in the United States. Whether you are a native of New York or a dreamer, this book will have you yearning for the streets of the city and the unique spirit of St. Marks.” — Penny Mann, Amazon.com
