Remembered as a place of great excitement, New York: A Feast of Memories, brings to life the thrill and vivacity of the Roaring 20s to the turbulent 60s. The author revisits the great city in its innocence, when a street person meant an organ grinder and his monkey. Carolls passion for the Big Apple bursts forth from every page.

Barnum, and a brassy songstress named Texas Guinan. He vividly records the introduction of 20th century wonders the Brooklyn Bridge, the grandeur of Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the early days of Radio City Music Hall.Carroll, David D. is the author of 'New York A Feast of Memories' with ISBN 9781881554011 and ISBN 1881554015.
