Summary:
"A portrait of New York over the last fifty years, from the garment district of the 1950s to the country clubs of Long Island"--Page [4] of cover.
In this collection of wry stories, Bernstein introduces us to the unsung residents of NYC's garment district: proud lace sewers, unscrupulous ragmen, and salesmen with a penchant for stolen pens. The stories are brief, and concerned with the particulars of human yearning, yet they capture a New York that recedes further into memory every year: a garment district populated by people with at least a passing acquaintanceship with the old country and older ways of making things.
