About the Item

This is a first edition copy from 1931, which still has the attached map - (this is often missing). The introduction briefly states: "New York has night-life and day-life, high-life and low-life, it has theatres to amuse you, restaurants to feed you, stores to tempt you, vehicles to carry you, buildings to thrill you, art museums to delight you, police to direct you and safeguard you - and something every minute of every hour of the twenty four hours to interest you." This is a guide to the city of its day which will still be of great interest to residents of the 21st century. 316 pages. 545 grams.
