Workman Publishing Marvelous Manhattan Hardcover Book

In this book lifelong New Yorker, Reggie Nadelson, celebrates her city and all the places that make it special. Part guidebook, part cultural history, part walk down memory lane, alive with the spirit and the grit of small, often family-owned businesses that have survived the Great Depression. Marvelous Manhattan is a seductive and timely book for anyone who lives in New York, loves the city, lived there once, or wishes they had. New York might have Broadway, Times Square, and the Empire State Building, but the real heart and soul of the city can be found in the iconic places that have defined cool since it became a word. Places like Di Palo’s in Little Italy, where you might stop in to pick up a little cheese only to find yourself in a long conversation with fourth-generation owner Lou Di Palo. Or Raoul’s in Soho to enjoy classic steak-frites in the company of downtown artists, celebrities, and locals. Or Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem to be in the room where some young guys named Thelonious, Dizzy, and Charlie invented bebop. Or maybe Russ and Daughters to pick up the city’s best lox and bagels, which they’ve been selling since 1914.
