About the Event
For this event, join David Mulkins for a review of “The Bowery”.
““The Bowery” is more than a neighborhood guide. It’s a preservation effort in paperback form: a defense of memory, place, and the ragged dignity of lives lived outside the spotlight. Mulkins doesn’t sanitize the Bowery’s history, and he doesn’t let us look away. Instead, he invites us to see. A community garden where a vacant lot once rotted. A neighborhood built not just on bricks and bones, but on stories.”
— Michael Quinn, The Village Star-Revue
