From Library Journal:

LJ's reviewer praised Ellis's 1966 epic for its "easy narrative flow, its comprehensible scope...its impressive bibliography." The text is chock-full of interesting tidbits about New York City from Giovanni da Verrazano's first trip into New York Harbor in 1524 to the mid-1960s. "Highly recommended" (LJ
