Both native New Yorkers and tourists have played hard in Gotham for centuries, lindy hopping in 1930's Harlem, voguing in 1980's Chelsea, and refueling at all-night diners and bars. The slim island at the mouth of the Hudson River is packed with places of leisure and entertainment, but Manhattan's infamously fast pace of change means that many of these beautifully constructed and incredibly ornate buildings have disappeared, and with them a rich and ribald history. Yet with David Freeland as a guide, it's possible to uncover skeletons of New York's lost monuments to its nightlife. With a keen eye for architectural detail, Freeland opens doors, climbs onto rooftops, and gazes down alleyways to reveal several of the remaining hidden gems of Manhattan's nineteenth- and twentieth-century entertainment industry. From the Atlantic Garden German beer hall in present-day Chinatown to the city's first motion picture studio?Union Square's American Mutoscope and Biograph Company?to the Lincoln Theater in Harlem, Freeland situates each building within its historical and social context, bringing to life an old New York that took its diversions seriously. Freeland reminds us that the buildings that serve as architectural guideposts to yesteryear's recreations cannot be re-created?once destroyed they are gone forever. With condominiums and big box stores spreading over city blocks like wildfires, more and more of the Big Apple's legendary houses of mirth are being lost. By excavating the city's cultural history, this delightful book unearths some of the many mysteries that lurk around the corner and lets readers see the city in a whole new light. 606 $aHistoric buildings$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aTheaters$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xBuildings, structures, etc 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoric buildings 615 0$aTheaters$xHistory. 676 $a974.7/104 700 $aFreeland$b David$01034557 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454900803321 996 $aAutomats, taxi dances, and vaudeville$92453771 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00780nam0-22003011i-450 001 990004880640403321 005 20230109084322.0 035 $a000488064 035 $aFED01000488064 035 $a(Aleph)000488064FED01 035 $a000488064 100 $a19990530g19279999km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay-------001yy 200 1 $aGiordano Bruno$fErminio Troilo 205 $a2.a ed. 210 $aRoma$cA.F.
