Habitats: Private Lives in the Big City by Constance Rosenblum

Though I've never been to New York City or read the column that this book is pulled from, I really enjoyed jumping into the homes of the various families featured in Habitats. Constance Rosenblum does a great job of choosing people from very different backgrounds, ages, and places in society to feature; allowing readers to see that the experience of living in New York City is a common one, regardless of so many other differences.

Boulevard of Dreams: Heady Times, Heartbreak, and Hope along the Grand Concourse in the Bronx by Constance Rosenblum

From Wall Street Journal, August 18, 2009 "It was a mecca of sorts, decidely middle-class, a pristine boulevard sitting on its very own hill in the West Bronx, and once considered the borough's classiest address. The Grand Concourse will be 100 years old come November; and in those years it has gone through a roller-coaster ride of stunning growth and decline, and growth again, as it seems to have risen out of its own ruins. Constance Rosenblum, a New York Times editor, has charted this ride show more with clarity and panache in "Boulevard of Dreams", a history of the Concourse." show less
