Summary

"Growing Up Bank Street is a uniquely Greenwich Village coming-of age-story, set on a legendary street whose irrepressible residents have helped shaped the story of America since Colonial times. A sparkling memoir of beatniks, rock stars, artists, AIDS activists, and free-thinkers, in an eccentric neighborhood that wrote its own rules on the power of community"--, Provided by publisher
