## Description

City on a Grid: How New York Became New York [Koeppel, Gerard] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. City on a Grid: How New York Became New York

Review: Informative but also enjoyable - I am engrossed in this book. I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about NYC, but this is a whole different angle, if you will. Gerald Koeppel really alters your view of the city and provides fascinating stories about how the city has grown from "villages" to the grid. His voice is really entertaining, too--it's like being with a great tour guide, bringing it all to life for you.
Review: A street-smart book - The overall story was very interesting. Following some of the city council/board meetings was a little confusing. A second reading would be required to get the story completely clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A street-smart book
*by B***N on September 13, 2019*

The overall story was very interesting. Following some of the city council/board meetings was a little confusing. A second reading would be required to get the story completely clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engrossing and entertaining
*by E***A on December 31, 2015*

I'm an infrequent reader of non-fiction, but having completed this book on New Year's eve I can't think of any book I've enjoyed as much in 2015. While the central story is engrossing with many more historical surprises than I expected, the author's frequent digressions are equally interesting and entertaining. The few but carefully-chosen illustrations beautifully augment the text, and several of the photographs are astonishing - who would have believed that streets were literally bulldozed through hills leaving early homes sitting precariously on newly-formed precipices. Only in New York!
