Roy Blunt Jr. writes in this exuberant , character-filled saunter through a place he has loved almost his entire life - a city "like no other place in America, and yet (or therefore) the cradle of American culture." Here we experience it all through his eyes, ears and taste buds: the architecture, music, romance (yes, sex too), historical characters and all that glorious food.
About the Author: Roy Blount Jr. has written many books, including the memoir Be Sweet and the novel First Hubby. He appears regularly on NPR's Wait, Wait. . . Don't Tell Me and is a contributor to many national publications. He lives in Manhattan and western Massachusetts.
