A delectable read
Do you fondly remember Chock Full O’Nuts, Schrafft’s, and Horn & Hardart’s? Would you like to know the secret to the Grand Central Oyster Bar’s Oyster Pan Roast, Lindy’s cheesecake, or the Rainbow Room’s Cosmopolitan? If so, check out Arthur Schwartz’s New York City Food. Schwartz takes readers on a mouthwatering journey through the past and present New York City dining scene with anecdotes, recipes, and wonderful photographs. A New York food lover's delight!

This looks like a good book and looking at Arthur on the cover I have no problem trusting that he's probably tried QUITE a few of the dishes served all over NYC. (that was a low-brow joke and I apologize)

Jennifer...
You omitted Nedicks and Tad's Steak House--two fine NYC eateries who fed many a hungry New Yorker on a budget. BTW, isn't Arthur Schwartz the foodie who hosted a radio show a year or so ago on WOR-AM? Sadly, he was replaced by Rocco DeSpirito, whose opinion of himself is akin to a puffed-up souffle.

Aaah Rocco! After seeing his reality tv show, it is obvious that he is going to have to keep that radio gig since he can't hold on to a restaurant!

Guess WOR radio has decided Rocco was a faux foodie because the show now has a new host who sounds totally real.
