Book SynopsisTrade Review"Readers will be inspired to don sturdy shoes and head out to see some of the sights for themselves, especially little-known places such as Billie Holiday’s grave and tiny City Island .... an entertaining tour of a...place well worth visiting." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Experiencing the Bronx through the eyes of the late Helmreich...is like having a friendly, knowledgeable walking companion show the area the way locals experience it .... Like every book in this series [
The Bronx Nobody Knows] one has something for everyone, whether they are foodies, people watchers, lovers of travel and discoveries, or fans of architecture or history." * Library Journal *
"It’s rare that a tour guide engages in such depth, exuding scholarship in equal measure to the obvious love that Helmreich has for the city. With
The Bronx Nobody Knows, William Helmreich has bestowed a gift to New Yorkers and historians alike. It is a worthwhile read for anyone who values the city, its storied past, and its hopeful future."
