An excellent document of unsung New York characters of the 1930's-1970's as seen by journalist Joseph Mitchell. Mitchell has a true gift of capturing these remarkable people's voices, from the seafoodetarian to the super eccentric junk shop owner and Bowery street preacher. Parts of this book are so funny you'll want to reread over and over again!
