The Restaurant by George Becker |
"The Restaurant" is a narrative of life in the North Bronx during the 1940's , as viewed by the author. It centers around a restaurant that was owned and operated by his dad at the Woodlawn Subway Station. It also has a lot to say about the neighborhood near the Mosholu Parkway Subway station, where he and his family lived, and a has a few words about the Yankee Stadium. So, whether you are getting this book for yourself or as a gift for someone else, we will be taking a ride on the IRT over Jerome Avenue to a time and place where boys had to wear knickers, and were told that when they grew up they could wear long pants, a place where street games and chalked up streets were the norm. |
