"Mike Berger was one of the great reporters of our day...he was a master of the color story, the descriptive narrative of sights and sounds---of a parade, an eclipse, a homicidal maniac running amok...or just a thunderstorm that broke a summer heat wave...." - The New York Times, obituary, February 6, 1959; "Dip into Meyer Berger's New York, at any point, and you will find things you never knew or dreamed of knowing.... It has a heart, a soul, and a beauty all its own." - Phillip Hamburger, The New York Times Book Review"
