The WPA Guide to New York City (Used Paperback) - Introduction by William H. Whyte

Written in 1939 - when a trolly ride cost 5 cents, a room at the Plaza $7.50 - and never surpassed, this tour guide for time travelers offers New York lovers and thirties buffs an endlessly fascinating look at life as it was lived in the days when Dodger fans flocked to Ebbets Field and the new World's Fair was the talk of the town.  The New York of 1939 was a city where adventures began "under the clock" at the Biltmore and the big liners sailed at midnight.  The Yankees were on their way to four in a row and Times Square was truly the crossroads of the world.
