"Kurlansky avoids the tired screeds against yuppification. Though there's a definite air of the elegy here, he prefers just to celebrate the neighborhood as it is, a frothy, ever-changing stew of humanity....Sugary but far from insubstantial: a definitive portrait of an era that's all the better for not really trying to be one."Kurlansky, Mark is the author of 'Boogaloo On 2nd Avenue A Novel Of Pastry, Guilt, And Music', published 2006 under ISBN 9780345448194 and ISBN 0345448197.
