Be fitted for a suit at Abraham Lincoln’s haberdashery, visit
the apothecary where Mark Twain filled his prescriptions, lunch
at restaurants that once served Charles Dickens and Mae West. This
guide directs you to the tobacconists, wine merchants, coffee roasters,
jewelers, and pasta makers that have delighted New Yorkers and
visitors alike for generations. Not only the romantic atmospheres
of these living landmarks, but the superlative quality of the goods
and services that they provide has allowed them to endure in a
city of the most discriminating shoppers and diners in the world.
