Some places Jack visited during "Harbingers."
SPOILERS! Don't look unless you've read the book; the photos are captioned and give things away.
Enjoy.
of my old neighborhood! I lived at 63rd St., between 1st and York for over 15 years. The East River looks a hell of a lot cleaner than I remember it. In my day, it was very unusual to see anyone swimming in it (unless, of course, they was sleepin wid da fishes). Summers while in college, I was a doorman at the York River House apartments, on York Ave., between 63rd and 64th Streets. Summertime, we used to swim at the John Jay pool you showed. Back then, the old neighborhood side streets still had some of the old brownstones and multi-leveled tenements from the 30s and before, while the new condos were up on the avenue.
Is Il Vagabondo still there? It was my favorite Italian restaurant, 62nd St., just west off 1st Ave. One of the only two indoor bocce ball courts left in Manhattan.
Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. I need to get back one day for a visit.
