Jimmy Breslin: A Life | Tony Guida's NY

Jimmy Breslin was proud to call himself a newspaperman; working the phones and getting out in the streets to find the stories that no one else was even looking for. Hard work and his passion for the common man defined Jimmy's DNA.
New York Times writer Sam Roberts was a close friend of Jimmy's. He shared his tales from the newsroom and the barroom with Tony as the two commemorate the life that was Jimmy Breslin.
