Through interviews with dozens of prominent New Yorkers including Ray Romano, Regis Philbin, Hector Elizondo, Joe Pantoliano, Curtis Sliwa and experts including former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop (a Brooklyn Boy), New York Street Games takes us back to a simpler time when the rules of the game were....well, the rules of the game. Their stories offer an intriguing and often humorous portrait of how things used to be, how they have changed, and how to recapture some of the positives of a simpler time.
New York Street Games profiles the street games; their origins, their rules, their social and cultural importance, and the sense of community they engendered. Street games played an important role in both entertainment and physical activity for a diverse group of children. These games brought people out of their homes and into the streets for cost-effective, community-building fun.Videos
