New York, New York

Living in New York, there is always a soft spot in our hearts for books which take place in our great state.  Maybe it's because many of us were born here or lived in New York for a large part of our lives.  It's fun to recognize and remember the places that are mentioned, and it always seems as if there is something about the characters that make them distinctly New Yorkers.  All of these stories take place in New York, and any one of them would make a great choice for a book group.
