Critic Reviews
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
The interviews and vintage clips are a vivid record of an extraordinary era in the city's history.
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
When Julianne Moore enthuses about the fact that kids got crayons with their meals, you have to wonder if a short film might have suited this story better.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
It is a touching, elegiac tale of the rise (and some would say fall) of a colorful New York neighborhood under the relentless march of gentrification.
-
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
A briskly paced, unself-consciously edited celebration that matches the giddy vibe of its namesake.
-
David Noh, Film Journal International
A unique, cherished New York restaurant and its equally singular owner are celebrated in this affectionate documentary.
