Reviews

""As a child, I loved walking wooded paths along the Hudson in upstate New York. 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
