In this diverse and richly informative collection, author (and lifelong New Yorker) Reggie Nadelson introduces readers to 40 New York institutions that have defined cool for decades, from time-honoured restaurants to unsung dives. Entries span the length of Manhattan, from the beloved appetising shop Russ & Daughters and dim sum parlor Jing Fong downtown to the Three Lives bookstore and Julius’ bar in the West Village, German food shop Schaller & Weber on the Upper East Side to the Minton’s Playhouse jazz club in Harlem.

The essays weave together Reggie’s own experiences of these beloved shops – from her childhood in the West Village to her present-day Soho haunts – and the histories of these storied institutions and their owners. The book is at once dripping in nostalgia and celebratory of the modern-day incarnations of these locations, many of them family-run, that continue to mean so much to the residents of this city.

Reviews for Marvelous Manhattan: Stories of the Restaurants, Bars, and Shops That Make This City Special

A wonderfully lively, knowledgeable journey through the past and present of places that help make New York City what it is, and which we must cherish and (hopefully) preserve. --Salman Rushdie Reggie Nadelson is synonymous with New York, and her book will make the most ardent anti-urbanist fall in love with both the thrumming city and her evocative prose. --Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story and Lake Success
