Richard E. Ocejo provides a sociological examination of the transformation of New York City's nightlife, tracing the evolution of the Bowery from a gritty district of working-class saloons to an upscale enclave of artisanal cocktail bars. Through ethnographic research, the book analyzes the mechanisms of gentrification and the changing social dynamics that define urban consumption patterns in the modern metropolis.
