"Growing Up Bank Street is an evocative, tender account of life in Greenwich Village, on a unique street that offered warmth, support, and inspiration to an adventurous and openhearted young girl. Bank Street, a short strip of elegant brownstones and humble tenements in Greenwich Village, can trace its lineage back to the yellow fever epidemics of colonial New York. In the middle of the last century, it became home to a cast of extraordinary characters whose stories intertwine in this spirited narrative."
Very interesting "feel good" memoir with a number of interesting stories about famous and not so famous residents. A light hearted read that will draw you into the author's childhood and the people and things that influenced her. A good way to spend a rainy Saturday and a glimpse into the lives and habits of the people who lived on this street.
