Manhattan at Mid-Century by Myrna Katz Frommer
[Globe Pequot Publishing] Experience the mosaic of mid-century Manhattan in this exuberant oral history that begins in the post–World War II years when the city came into its own, and ends in the mid-1970s when it nearly went bust. This is the story of a time when great ocean liners were docked in the Hudson River ports, Checker cabs hurtled across a two-way Fifth Avenue, and the Third Avenue el cast long shadows onto the street below.

Made just for you, never mass produced. Why does it take a little longer?
Most of our pieces are made when you order them, just for you, so less goes to waste and yours arrives fresh, not off a dusty shelf. That's why it can take a little longer than big-box stores, and we think it's worth the wait.

There are recollections of Friday night boxing matches at the old Madison Square Garden, of peddling tunes in the heart of Tin Pan Alley at the Brill Building, of a Harlem that had a nightclub on every corner, and a SoHo that was saved from a wrecker’s ball by a “bunch of mothers.” Eleven daily newspapers covered the city beat back then, Automats and five-and-dimes were in each neighborhood, and the New York Philharmonic performed free summer concerts at Lewisohn Stadium on the City College campus. Zabar’s was a small dairy store; Made in the United States
