its non fiction but Gangs of New York by Herbert Asbury is an alltime favorite - its nothing like the movie
Andrew Vacchs is a hardboiled writer, his Burke series takes place mostly in NY and shows a very ugly, gritty side of the City...excellent
Lawrence Block has a couple series set in NYC, I like the Matthew Scudder series best, like the Vacchs material it is very hard boiled.
The Alienist I just read and really dug, a mystery in gaslight NYC with Teddy Roosevelt as police commisioner
Jim Carroll - Catholic Diaries
William Burroughs - Junkie
