Sample Book Insights: #1 The East Side neighborhood of Beekman Place, just north of the United Nations, has not always been home to the rich. It was originally a stretch of stolid middle-class row houses, but it was redeveloped in the 1920s when it became a popular destination for wealthy artists, writers, and theatrical celebrities. #2 The area around Beekman Place was a mix of luxury towers and grimy tenements in the early 1930s. In 1935, the socially conscious crime drama Dead End opened on Broadway, and its setting was inspired by the area.
