Growing up bank street is a memoir about just that. Living with a vast amount of characters throughout a period of time from actors, prostitutes, legends, and other interesting characters. Unfortunately, I've never been to New York and have no idea where this place exists so the story to me was really all over the place. I felt no connection with anyone in this book.
If you live, lived, or have been to Greenwich village anytime in the past, from the 1920's until the 1990s then you will know exactly what the author is trying to say. I grew up on the south side of Chicago so it would be similar if I wrote a book about where I was from. The readers wouldn't really relate unless they lived there.
I wish the book included pictures of these places, it would have been more entertaining.
Growing up bank street isn't a bad book but if you didn't grow up in New York you will need to look up these places on the internet.
