Taste of Broadway

by Carliss Pond Retif

Overview

Since before Sinatra found his favorite table at Patsy’s, the Theater District has overflowed with the youthful vibrancy of wannabe actors, singers, playwrights and the restaurants they staff. Featured restaurants include the iconic Algonquin, the Russian Tea Room, Sardi’s, the “21” Club and many more. Photographs add fabulous local color. This book gives tourists a realistic New York experience to savor even after they’ve gone home.
