When it was first published in 1968, the critically acclaimed
LOST NEW YORK became an instant classic for the way it reawakened a
lost city. Now expanded and updated, with 118 new photographs, the
book reveals a fresh, true picture of New York as it has lived and
grown, with startling reminders of how much that has vanished
remains part of us. From the grandeur of the old Metropolitan Opera
and Pennsylvania Station to the fabulous lost night clubs of 52nd
Street and Harlem, from the opulence of the old Vanderbilt mansions
to the Madison Square Garden rooftop where architect Stanford White
was shot, this is both a unique testament to New York's past and a
story of the vitality that makes the city continue to connect with
us. Illustrated with rare and stunning photographs and marked by
engaging, lively text, this new edition of LOST NEW YORK provides a
unique and unforgettable look at the places in New York that are no
more. Beyond that, it evokes the significant moments in time and
memory that make us reflect on our passions about change and the
reasons we remain concerned about the future of cities.
