His description of McSorley's saloon will make you want to go to New York City immediately to find it (fortunately, it is still there, unlike many of his other subjects.) Highly recommended! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/902083?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
