Summary

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.
