I read a previous comment that was critical about this documentary not going much into the history of the Bowery. I don't believe that was its intention. It was to show how the Bowery, for years known as a skid row kind of place, was turning upscale, mainly due to restaurants and bars.
I liked the interview with the desk clerk at the Sunshine Hotel (it was sad yet interesting to learn how he got there) and the guy that built the million dollar apartment. The was a bit of "bowery" history, but this documentary mostly focuses on how the bowery as we have known it for years and years is no more.
Well worth the watch if you have an hour to kill.
