Every establishment in this book has been in business for at least 100 years, so it is a good guide for finding history in NYC. While it's only about 6 inches tall, it's 350 thick-stock pages that cover specialty foods, clothing, books, saloons and wine shops, jewelers, toy shops, steak houses... It's surprising to see that Lane Bryant is over 100 years old, or that you can buy kangaroo meat, if you know where to go. What's missing, and it's a big void in a book like this, are pictures. There are none, which is why I had to rate it as I did. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Discover the bygone city of Mark Twain and Stanford White, Harry Houdini and Edith Wharton in the venerable shops and restaurants that have served discriminating New Yorkers for generations. In Old World dining rooms, gaslit saloons, at jewelers, tobacconists, apothecaries, and more, these are the establishments that have endured by offering highly desirable goods and dining experiences. Visit the tavern where George Washington bade farewell to his troops, the haberdashery where Abe Lincoln traded in his backwoods cap for a more distinguished stovepipe hat, the Lower East Side delis, the coffee merchants of Greenwich Village, the purveyors of riding boots, andirons, brass beds, and nautical charts. From world-famous department stores to humble pasta-makers, this volume is a charming and useful guide to the living landmarks of New York. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
