A new book is revealing New York’s role in the Kennedy family saga. Written by pop culture historian, Tim English, “The Kennedy’s New York: American Royalty in the Greatest City in the World” (now on sale) explores in detail how the time the Kennedy clan's time spent in New York shaped the course of their lives, including the Upper East Side hotel at which JFK said a final goodbye to his 20-year-old paramour in November of 1963; The small theater where, in 1985, John Jr. acted in a play that eerily anticipated his tragic 1999 airplane accident; and the midtown theater where Jackie viewed the X-rated film "I Am Curious Yellow" in 1969.

Until next time, we’ll be seeing you Around Town!
