What We Are Reading Today: The Bronx Nobody Knows by Wiilliam B. Helmreich

Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City — some 6,000 miles — to write the award-winning “The New York Nobody Knows.” Later, he re-walked most of the Bronx to create this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city’s northern borough, from Mott Haven to City Island. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey through this fascinating, diverse, and under appreciated borough, Helmreich highlights hundreds of facts and points of interest that you won’t find in any other guide.
