Before the memories fade, give the New Yorkers in your life a place to save them.
The people in your life who grew up in New York City are carrying something irreplaceable. The block, the games, the corner store, the neighbors, the smells, the sayings, the whole rich and diverse tapestry of what it meant to come of age in one of the greatest cities in the world. That story deserves to be written down before it's gone.
So here's the book that gets the stories down on paper.
Guided prompts, plenty of white space, a way to give the gift of your favorite memories, tastes, smells, sayings, life lessons and dreams, and pass them down to the next generation before they're gone.
Pass it to your father, your aunt, your grandmother with NYC in her bones, and let them fill it in. Or fill it in yourself.
As a bonus, the Official Brooklyn Playdate Rules Book, the real rules for stickball, stoopball, skully, punchball, and cat's cradle, plus the egg cream and lime rickey recipes that went with them.
A bridge between generations.
The official companion to Brooklyn Playdate, The Sneaker Tree, and the Brooklyn Stories Podcast. Free chapters, community, and behind-the-scenes access over at flipsidenyc.substack.com
