How to Find Old New York
About How To Find Old New York: This is a guide to the New York you always wanted to see but feared might have disappeared for good. It depicts a city of diners and dive bars, overstocked grocery stores and mountainous pastrami sandwiches. From Patsy’s Pizzeria in Harlem, to the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown, taking in along the way Katz's, the "21" Club and McSorley's Old Ale House. In these long-established Manhattan businesses, the city’s spirit lives on.
The world has changed a lot. These guides are still packed full of inspiration and have plenty of great tips, but we can't be sure that every place recommended is still open or quite the same as it was written about it.
