My cousin's husband, Craig Lifschutz, recently produced a fantastic new documentary, entitled "New York Street Games". Featuring stories by Regis Philbin, Ray Romano, C. Everett Koop & Whoopi Goldberg (among other prominent New Yorkers), the documentary addresses the social and cultural importance of games such as Stickball, Skully, Stoopball, Kick-the-Can, and Ring-o-leavio (to name a few) - Classic street games that the children of NYC played before the age of video games, I-pods and the Internet.
As someone who grew up playing Stoopball, Bean-ball (with booties!), Four Square and Tapps, "New York Street Games" brought me back to the good ol' days, when those little blue Spalding raquetballs ruled our lives.
Here are some photos from the premiere @ Village East Cinemas, followed by the trailer...
