Punk rock and hip-hop. Disco and salsa. The loft jazz scene and the downtown composers known as Minimalists. In the mid-1970s, New York City was a laboratory where all the major styles of modern music were reinvented--block by block, by musicians who knew, admired, and borrowed from one another. Crime was everywhere, the government was broke, and the infrastructure was collapsing. But rent was cheap, and the possibilities for musical exploration were limitless.
Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell the full story of the era's music scenes and the phenomenal and surprising ways they intersected. From New Year's Day 1973 to New Year's Eve 1977, the book moves panoramically from post-Dylan Greenwich Village, to the arson-scarred South Bronx barrios where salsa and hip-hop were created, to the lower Manhattan lofts where jazz and classical music were reimagined, to ramshackle clubs like CBGB and the Gallery, where rock and dance music were hot-wired for a new generation.

Let me pre-empt this with I’m single and travel a ton, so dishes and silverware don’t suit my lifestyle (don’t judge me I’m here to help) so these can be used just as well as stainless or silver cutlery. Very durable. Beware that they may show up with the lid not in tact, causing a small or moderate amount of them to bridge the container. Still, very much worth it.

High Quality
Size: 1 X Pack of 180
I'm so happy with this purchase because this set is very high quality and sturdy. I also like the container it comes in because it's very convenient to set out on a table for guests. I don't quite understand why there are less knives than forks because if you use this for a get together, most people will take one of each, so then you're left with a lot of forks. But then that container comes in handy for storing them! :)

I was worried about ordering these online but took the chance and they are perfect. Perfect size and sturdy. Meaning they are very close to the size of my regular silverware and they don't break when trying to cut something with the side of the fork etc.
