The Killing Fields of East New York: Book Talk with Stacy Horn
East New York, once a thriving working-class neighborhood on its way up, has the highest number of unsolved murders in New York City. Why?
How and why did Riverside Park and Riverside Drive come to be – and what went wrong in the process? Join Upper West Sider Stephanie Azzarone in exploring the creation and evolution of Park and Drive through the eyes of the movers and shakers responsible for it: the powerful men who conceived it, promoted it, designed it – and later redesigned it. While some of their names are well known – Frederick Law Olmsted and Robert Moses among them – others have been long forgotten.
