SynopsisThis guide directs you to the tobacconists, wine merchants, coffee roasters, jewelers, and pasta makers that have delighted New Yorkers and visitors alike for generations., New York, the World's Preeminent Shopping and Dining Destination, is also the only place where you can still be fitted for a suit at Abraham Lincoln's haberdashery, visit the Victorian apothecary where Mark Twain filled his prescriptions, and have lunch at celebrated restaurants that once served Charles Dickens and Mae West. This essential guide will direct you to the living landmarks of the city -- the century-old stationers, tobacconists, wine merchants, the coffee roasters of Greenwich Village, the aristocratic jewelers of Fifth Avenue, the humble pasta makers of Little Italy -- that have delighted New Yorkers and visitors alike for generations. Book jacket., 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.
