Reseña del editor:

A collection of hilarious, poignant, and eternal stories by the acclaimed writer who wrote for The New Yorker captures the off-beat, quirky, and amusing characters that he encountered at Tim and Joe Costello's Irish Saloon, from cab drivers, horseplayers, and glamour girls, to has-beens, never-weres, and dreamers. 25,000 first printing.

Reseña del editor:

"No one came closer to catching the common parlance of New York in all its uncommonness than John McNulty." --Phillip Lopate. "This Place on Third Avenue is a gift of a book, long overdue, and with a tender and delicious memoir by Faith McNulty, John's widow...McNulty's characters are the ones you just chatted with in the street, the elevator, or, God help us, in the saloon. He shows us that wherever you look, there's a story."Frank McCourt"John McNulty, city man and newspaperman, self-assigned in his mature years to human-interest stories of the world around him, left a body of work that throbs with his love of life...American writing in our time developed few men with so keen an eye and so sharp an ear. [He] cannot be replaced."James Thurber, in his New Yorker obituary of McNulty
