description: "Helene Haniff's dry Manhattan is another irreverent tour de force, as idiosyncratic and cordial as 84, CHARING CROSS ROAD, with a similar cumulative lilt. Her New York comes complete with rush hour crush, evidence of vandalism, bureaucratic runarounds, and incomparable felicities. Friend Patsy Gibbs serves as perfect foil, a West Sider to her East Side moorings.
