Now I relish walking by the Hudson in Riverside Park. William Hennessey has created a wonderful combination of homage to the river, and a detailed description of the architecture that edges it the length of the island. Reading this will enhance anyone's sojourn along what I think of as Manhattan's west coast."" — Peg Breen, President, The New York Landmarks Conservancy ""William Hennessey's informative and entertaining Along the Hudson is a valuable addition to New York's walking tour literature, focusing on the West Side waterfront, a once neglected and now vibrant part of New York City with a rich design history that has been overlooked until now."" — Andrew Scott Dolkart, Columbia University School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Author InformationWilliam J. Hennessey is an architectural historian and retired art museum Director. He is the author of two architectural guidebooks, Walking Broadway: Thirteen Miles of Architecture and History and Fifth Avenue: From Washington Square to Marcus Garvey Park.
