Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to the 19th-century development of the sprawling metropolis of New York City, a place of vast opportunities, as well as drastic contrasts in wealth and living conditions. The author, well versed in the latest travel literature of the era, sought to encapsulate the many options available to a person visiting or newly arrived in the city, including detailed descriptions of neighborhoods, transportation, hotels, restaurants, shopping, theaters, and many other commercial and cultural activities. Importantly, the author contextualizes the rapid expansion of New York within the framework of the city's history, describing the geographical advantages that enabled it to become the commercial capital of the New World. He also offers frank assessments of the city's extremes, such as the degrading slums alongside the great excesses of the newly wealthy, and provides insights into the lives of New Yorkers from all walks of life. The book is a fascinating glimpse into New York during its Gilded Age, and its granular details make it an essential companion for any visitor from the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
