Description:
Novelist and antiquarian Janvier brings us this insightful, charming, and droll look at Manhattan history. The city's past is revealed through sketches, diaries, scenes of daily life, and wry illustrations such as "A Winter Night in Grove Street, " "A Privateersman Ashore, " "The Conflagration in 1776, " "Home for Aged Couples, Hudson Street."
Expand description
Janvier pays special attention to now-lost features of many famous neighborhoods, including:
-- The forgotten brooks and byways of Greenwich Village
-- The colleges and backyard tennis courts of Chelsea
-- The parks and farms of Tribeca
-- And the shanties, barns, and castles of the Upper East and West Side
Illustrated throughout with maps, etchings, and entertaining line drawings, plus a new map pinpointing all the locations in the text, In Old New York is like a walking tour of Manhattan past and is a rare treat for New Yorkers and history buffs everywhere.
