About this ebook
Eric Ferrara
Eric Ferarra is the founder and executive director of the Lower East Side History project, an award-winning nonprofit research organization. He also founded the East Village Visitor Center, as well as the first museum in America dedicated to gansterism. Ferrara is a popular public speaker, sits on a number of local boards and has consulted on numerous movie and television projects. A true product of the Lower East Side melting pot, Ferrara's ancestors arrived to New York City from Sicily (1880s), Ukraine (1909), Russia (1917) and Naples (1940s.) He is a fourth-generation native New Yorker and dedicated community activist. This is his second title as an author for The History Press.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wonderful little book which goes block by block through 200 years of Bowery history, often with some exciting then-and-now photographs. Ferrara is not the most engrossing writer, but the book is well researched and a great addition to the NYC history shelves.
