NYC in the late 1970s and early 80s could best be described using Charles Dickens' phrase: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Meryl Meisler's photographs documented it with compassion and humour. As the city neared bankruptcy, crime rates rose, and epidemics of arson and crack made the Big Apple seem like it was rotting to the core. Amid it all, a scintillating, groundbreaking disco nightlife culture arose. Crossing the most exclusive clubs' velvet gates, Meryl danced and photographed with her medium format camera. July 13, 1977, while she was en route to Studio 54, a blackout shuttered NYC.
