Description
At first published in 1939 on the time of the World’s Fair, this can be a reissue of this guide for time-travellers. It offers New York-lovers and 1930s-buffs a take a look at life as it was once lived within the days when a trolley ride cost only some cents, a room on the Plaza was once $7.50, Dodger fans flocked to Ebbetts Field, and the new World’s Fair was once the talk of the town. The New York of 1939 was once a city where adventures started under the clock on the Biltmore, the big liners sailed in the dead of night, and Times Square was once regarded as the crossroads of the world.
