  My grandfather Irving Cohen used to call New York City “God’s Country” with
  just a touch of irony. He was a proud New Yorker who rarely traveled beyond
  the five boroughs, a newsstand dealer who was proud that his son and grandson
  became journalists, and who boasted that they’d inherited their love of the
  news business from him. Neither he nor my grandmother Mary Cohen were widely
  known beyond their small circle of friends and neighbors on Grand Street on
  Manhattan’s Lower East Side. But they were integral to the life of this city,
  and more than integral to my life growing up in God’s Country, and it is to
  them that I dedicate this book.
