Fear City: The New York Underground, 1974-1981

Our attempt to chart what’s left of the Manhattan we love; places to gladden the heart of jaded natives and quicken the pulse of visitors. There’s Keens Steakhouse where Buffalo Bill’s pipe hangs from the ceiling, JG Melon where preppies queue for cheeseburgers and Bloody Bulls, and timeless McSorley’s Old Ale House – still laying claim as the oldest bar in New York. What unifi es these disparate places is that they’re the real thing; whether glamorous or down-at-heel, they’re linked to old New York in a way that sham Blarney Stone bars and phoney speakeasies can never be.And all this is a new-format fold-out guide, which concertinas to reveal 10 A5 panels, litho-printed on sturdy, luxurious 350gsm stock
