Clifford Browder's New Yorkers is the quirky memoir of a longtime resident who loves his city, a selective glance at that city's amazing history, and a bit of a travel book, all rolled into one. It's for people who love (or hate) the city, and people who have visited or want to visit it. Readers will learn*, Who New Yorkers are and how they live and die*, How many languages are spoken there (you'd be surprised)*, How many witches there are (youd be surprised)*, Whose funeral caused an all-day riot*, Why a cemetery offers trolley-car tours and whiskey tastings*, How Fifth Avenue went from goats to grandeur*, How your taxi driver may be a Tibetan, a Sherpa from Nepal, or a gypsy*, How the Statue of Liberty almost didn't happen*, Which flashy modern hotel would-be suicides should avoid at all costs, and why*, How the author learned the Charleston on YouTube, proof that geezers rock.New York is the most exciting city in the world. Everyone should know it, at least a little. It's unique.
