In its heyday in the 1930s and '40s, the Taft was the biggest hotel
in midtown Manhattan. Stephen Lewis grew up in this New York
landmark, where his father, the general manager, ruled over a staff
of Damon Runyonesque characters. Lewis contrasts his luxurious life
inside the hotel with the gritty carnival spirit of his Times
Square neighbourhood. In these pages, visit the night-clubs and
movie palaces of a vanished era and thread your way among
sightseers and hucksters. "Hotel Kid" is Eloise for adults. It is
an Editor's Choice of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
