My favorite travel guide has written a beguiling book about New of legend and a true son of the historical She her history with of and yesterday - buildings, street names and all. She has written of pirat estorcone, of gin finses and great restaurateurs, and she has wound up with a vivi count of carnival- which will clarify many of its obscurities for the Northern visit The style is colloquial, slangy, vigorous and colorful. I liked it.
