Clifford Browder’s New Yorkers is the quirky memoir of a longtime resident who loves his city, a selective glance at that city’s amazing history, and a bit of a travel book, all rolled into one. It’s for people who love (or hate) the city, and people who have visited or want to visit it. Readers will learn

  • Who New Yorkers are and how they live and die

  • How many languages are spoken there (you’d be surprised)

  • How many witches there are (you’d be surprised)

  • Whose funeral caused an all-day riot

  • Why a cemetery offers trolley-car tours and whiskey tastings

  • How Fifth Avenue went from goats to grandeur

  • How your taxi driver may be a Tibetan, a Sherpa from Nepal, or a gypsy

  • How the Statue of Liberty almost didn’t happen

  • Which flashy modern hotel would-be suicides should avoid at all costs, and why

  • How the author learned the Charleston on YouTube, proof that geezers rock.

New York is the most exciting city in the world. Everyone should know it, at least a little. It’s unique.
