New YORK AS A Si 
 JL Winter resort. 
 
 HE AMERICAN METROPOLIS— 
 
 1 Wonderfully attractive at all times 
 and in all seasons, it is during the winter 
 months, especially, that New York reaches 
 the acme of her charms, and exhibits her 
 many phases most advantageously to the 
 stranger. 
 
 The winter climate of New York pos- 
 sesses the fascination of the ideal Canadian 
 winter in sparkling ice and snow effects, 
 but without the extreme rigors of the 
 northern season. Walking and driving are 
 constant delights in the clear bracing air, 
 and so even is the temperature that, as a 
 rule, ordinary winter clothing is sufficient 
 for warmth and not too heavy for comfort. 
 
 The streets and avenues of New York 
 form a constant and ever interesting pano- 
 rama. The principal thoroughfares in the 
 downtown residence and shopping district 
 are Broadway, Fifth and Sixth Avenues ; 
 further downtown in the great business 
 centre, Broadway is still the main artery, 
 branching from which are Wall and Broad 
 Streets, where the great financial and bank- 
 ing institutions are located ; Fulton, Canal 
 and a host of other well-known streets 
 devoted to wholesale trade ; while in the 
 uptown fashionable residence district the 
 leading thoroughfares are Fifth Avenue, 
 Central Park West, the Boulevard and 
 Riverside Drive. 
 
 One may walk or drive for many miles 
 in the city's magnificent parks and admire 
 
4 NEW YORK AS A WIMKK RESORT. 
 
 the beautiful scenery, or the thousand and 
 one objects encountered at every turn to 
 interest or amuse. Central Park has two 
 large lakes, on which skating is permitted 
 during the season, without any charge what- 
 ever. Van Cortlandt and Crotona Parks 
 also have fine lakes for skating, and at each 
 of these places every possible facility is pro- 
 vided for the convenience of skaters and 
 visitors. Sleighing is also a popular winter 
 amusement in New York, and all the city 
 is ajingle with merry sleigh bells as long as 
 snow lasts. 
 
 CENTRAL PARK LAKE. 
 
 It is manifestly impossible in these few 
 pages to give anything like a description of 
 New York, or even glance at half the feat- 
 ures of this wonderful city ; we shall only 
 attempt, therefore, to point out a few of the 
 most striking and unique attractions of the 
 metropolis, with a suggestion here and there 
 that may aid you in disposing of your time 
 to the best advantage. The map in the 
 front of this book has been expressly made 
 
NEW YORK AS A WINTER RESORT. 5 
 
 for it on an original plan, and if a stranger 
 glancing through these pages will take the 
 trouble to open the map and keep it in front 
 of him as he reads, he will no doubt be able 
 to obtain a very clear idea of the localities 
 mentioned and lines of communication 
 between different parts of the city. 
 
 Manhattan Island is a narrow strip of 
 land sixteen miles long by two and one-half 
 miles at its widest point, having a total 
 area of about twenty-two square Manhattan 
 miles or 13,463 acres. It is ISLAND, 
 bounded on the north by the Harlem 
 River, on the south by New York Bay, on 
 the east by the East River and Long Island 
 Sound, and on the west by the Hudson or 
 North River. 
 
 Within this area is embraced the social 
 and business life of the metropolis of the 
 Western World : all of its great financial 
 and mercantile institutions ; its grand hotels 
 and amusement palaces ; churches and the 
 homes of the wealthy ; the tenement dis- 
 trict ; the foreign quarters and the slums. 
 
 The homes of the great middle class are 
 found in the " annexed district " — that por- 
 tion of the city lying north of the Harlem 
 and extending into Westchester County to 
 the city lines of Yonkers and Mount Vernon. 
 
 Means of transportation throughout the 
 city are ample and excellent, there being 
 four lines of elevated railways, besides 
 numerous cable, electric and horse car lines.

 PUBLIC PARKS. 
 
 The park system of New York, when fully 
 developed, will be the most magnificent in 
 the world, and rank among the chief feat- 
 ures of the greatest city of modern times. 
 In the main part of the city is Central 
 Park, the most beautiful of the city's play- 
 grounds. It covers an area of 840 acres, 
 and has cost up to the present time over 
 815,000,000. Morningside Park of thirty- 
 two acres and Riverside Park of 178 acres,

 the latter overlooking the Hudson River 
 for nearly three miles, are also on Man- 
 hattan Island, in addition to numerous 
 smaller parks and squares scattered through- 
 out the city. 
 
 North of the Harlem River we have the 
 following : 
 
 Van Cortlandt Park, 
 Bronx Park, 
 Crotona Park, 
 St. Mary's Park, 
 Claremont Park, 
 Pelham Bar Park, 
 
 1070 acres.

 A grand chain of parkways connecting 
 one with another is an impressive feature 
 of the scheme. 
 
HOTELS. 
 
 In the number and luxurious character 
 of its hotels New York is easily first among 
 all the cities of the world. The hotels 
 erected within the last few years, besides 
 being palatial in their appointments, are 
 marvels of constructive skill and architect- 
 ural design. In fact, New York is justly 
 proud of her hotels, and they are the 
 wonder and admiration of strangers. 
 
 No visit to the metropolis would be quite 
 complete that did not include a dinner 
 between 6.00 and 8.00 at either the Wal- 
 dorf, Delmonico's, The Hoff- DELIQHTFUL 
 man House or The Holland. PLACES TO 
 There are a score of other DINE - 
 hotels where the appointments are superb, 
 and a most delightful dinner can be had, 
 but each of the four above-mentioned has 
 its own peculiar attractions. 
 
 The New York hotels are conducted 
 upon either the American or European 
 plan, or both. When run on the American 
 plan, the rate by the day includes the 
 charge for both room and meals; on the 
 European plan the daily rate is for the 
 room only, and meals are a separate item.

 RESTAURANTS. 
 
 New York likes to dine out, and to this 
 general trait is no doubt due the develop- 
 ment of a restaurant system which has no 
 rival on the continent. High class table 
 d'hotes abound, and every variety of foreign 
 and domestic cooking may be had. 
 
 The most noted restaurants in the city, 
 besides those in the great hotels, are, viz.:

THEATRES. 
 
 In the evening all New York goes to the 
 theatre, and consequently these temples of 
 amusement are numerous and varied enough 
 to suit all tastes and all purses. There are 
 over forty legitimate theatres in New York, 
 having a seating capacity of about 60,000. 
 The museums, concert halls, lecture rooms 
 etc., will easily accommodate 20,000 more. 
 Even with this total the supply does not 
 exceed the demand. It is said that over 
 S6, 000, 000 is spent every year in New York 
 for amusements of this character.

 BICYCLING. 
 
 Good roads abound on the boulevards 
 and avenues and in the parks. In fact, 
 bicycles now have access to all roads 
 and drives open to carriages, common re- 
 strictions as to speed alike governing both 
 classes of riders. The favorite resorts of 
 the bicyclists in New York are Central Park, 
 Riverside Drive, the Boulevard, Eighth 
 Avenue and the Kingsbridge road to 
 Yonkers and Tarrytown.

 Street, you will have traced the boundaries 
 of the great retail shopping district of New 
 York, the equal of which exists in no other 
 city in America. Here you can find the 
 perfection of everything; and what cannot 
 be found here cannot be found in any shop- 
 ping district anywhere. Miles upon miles 
 of plate glass windows line your path, dis- 
 playing everything imaginable in dry goods, 
 furniture, decorations, wearing apparel, 
 jewelry, precious stones, art, books, music, 
 stationery. The endless procession of gaily 
 dressed shoppers is not the least interest- 
 ing feature of the pageant. 
 
 In our limited space we cannot give any- 
 thing like a complete list of the famous 
 stores and bazaars in the shopping district,

 POINTS OF INTEREST YOU 
 SHOULD NOT FAIL TO SEE. 
 
 i. 
 
 GRAND CENTRAL STATION, NEW YORK. 
 
 A NOTE OF EXPLANATION 
 
 "870," "903" and "999" are the three most cele- 
 brated locomotives ever built. They haul the New York 
 Central's Empire State Express, the fastest train in the 
 world, in its daily flight across the Empire State from the 
 ocean to the great lakes and Niagara Falls. 
 
 ± 
 
 APPROACHING New York by the New 
 York Central & Hudson River Rail- 
 road, you leave the Hudson River at Spuyten 
 Duyvil,and follow the course of the Harlem 
 River and the great Harlem Ship Canal, 
 passing under the Washington Bridge and 
 High Bridge, opposite the new Speedway, 
 then under McComb's Dam Bridge. From 
 this point the Harlem Plains extend to 
 138th Street, where is located the uptown 
 station in New York of the New York Cen- 
 tral. A steel viaduct is being constructed 
 
NEW YORK AS A WINTER RESORT. 2g 
 
 from this point with a new swing bridge 
 crossing the Harlem River, and extending 
 through Park Avenue to 106th Street. 
 When completed this will be the only 
 four-track swing bridge in the world. 
 From this magnificent steel roadway a 
 far-reaching view is obtained of many 
 of the most celebrated features of the 
 metropolis. 
 
 Beginning with the Grant 
 Mausoleum in Riverside Park, 
 which overlooks the Hudson 
 from a height of 350 feet, the 
 eye will next take in Barnard 
 College, the Woman's Annex to 
 Columbia, now being erected on 
 1 20th Street, the eastern wing 
 resting on the Boulevard and 
 the western on Riverside Drive. 
 Immediately below, in the square 
 bounded by the Boulevard and 
 Amsterdam Avenue and 116th 
 and 1 20th Streets, are going up 
 the buildings of Columbia Col- 
 lege. They will be seventeen 
 in number and at least five mil- 
 lion dollars will be spent before 
 the undertaking is completed. 
 Two blocks south rise the 
 marble walls of St. Luke's Hospital, over 
 which will stand against the sky a marble 
 dome. The hospital occupies the block 
 bounded by 114th and 113th Streets, Morn- 
 ingside and Amsterdam Avenues. Directly 
 south will be the Cathedral of St. John the 
 Divine, designed by Lafarge. The corner 
 stone was laid on December 27th, 1892, 
 
30 NEW YORK AS A WINTER RESOR'I . 
 
 but it will be several years before it is com 
 pleted. For stateliness and beauty it will 
 rank among the great ecclesiastical build- 
 ings of the world. The Cathedral, with 
 the grounds around it, will be bounded by 
 noth and 113th Streets, Morningside Ave- 
 nue and Amsterdam Avenue. 
 
 Of the buildings mentioned the Teachers' 
 College is already built, the Cathedral, 
 Columbia College and St. Luke's Hos- 
 pital are in process of construction, and 
 Barnard College will be begun early in the 
 spring. When all of these structures 
 are ready for dedication fourteen million 
 dollars will have been spent in buildings on 
 the plateau bounded on the south by noth 
 Street, on the north by 12 2d Street, on the 
 east by Morningside Park, and on the 
 west by Riverside Drive, and the collection 
 will be one of the wonders of the western 
 world, all plainly visible from the trains of 
 the New York Central entering the city. 
 
 Leaving the train at Grand Central Sta- 
 tion, on 42d Street, centre of the hotel, resi- 
 dence and theatre district, attendants wear-

 street car lines, so that they will have no 
 trouble, if strangers, in getting to their des- 
 tination. 
 
 The cars of the Third Avenue Elevated 
 Railway start from Grand Central Station, 
 making connections for the extreme south- 
 ern part of the city and Brooklyn, as well 
 as the northern part of the city. The cars 
 of the Fourth Avenue surface railroad also 
 
NEW YORK AS A WINTER RESORT. 31 
 
 leave from Grand Central Station and run 
 down Fourth Avenue through the Bowery 
 to City Hall and the Post-Office. The 
 Forty-second Street surface lines pass in 
 front of the station, and cross every north 
 and south line of surface, as well as ele- 
 vated railroad. The Boulevard cars pass 
 in front of Grand Central Station on Forty- 
 second Street, running west to Seventh 
 Avenue, thence to the north end of the 
 Boulevard and Fort Lee Ferry. The Madi- 
 son Avenue cars also pass in front on Forty- 
 second Street, and run north on Madison 
 Avenue to the uptown station of the New 
 York Central at 138th Street (Mott Haven). 
 Another line of cars leaves in front of 
 Grand Central Station for the 34th and 23d 
 Street ferries on the east side, and crosses 
 to the steamship docks and Hoboken and 
 Jersey City ferries on the west side. 
 
 Grand Central Station is the only 
 trunk line railroad station in the city 
 of New York, and in itself is one of 
 the sights of the metropolis. 
 
 Broadway, which starts from Bowling 
 Green, is one of the longest and grand- 
 est business streets in the world. It is 
 the main business artery of the city, 
 and extends north about five miles to 
 59th Street, where it merges into the 
 Boulevard, and under that name con- 
 tinues on for nine miles farther, when 
 it resumes the name of Broadway, and 
 forms the main thoroughfare through 
 Yonkers, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sing 
 Sing, etc. Financial institutions, ship- 
 ping interests, the wholesale dry 
 goods and other branches of BROADWAY, 
 business, monopolize lower Broadway and 
 the adjacent streets. From 8th Street to

 42d Street it passes through the great retail 
 shopping district. Between 23d and 45th 
 Streets most of the large theatres are 
 grouped. Above 45th Street Broadway 
 acquires something of a residential charac- 
 ter, many large apartment houses facing it 
 as it nears Central Park at 59th Street. 
 
 Madison Square, bounded by Fifth Ave-

 26th Streets, has an area of about seven 
 acres. It is one of the most ani- MADISON 
 mated spots on Manhattan Island. SQUARE. 
 The Brunswick Hotel, Fifth Avenue Hotel, 
 Hoffman House and Delmonico's, are all 
 clustered on Fifth Avenue within a stone's 
 throw. Below on Broadway are the great 
 business houses of Lord & Taylor, Ar- 
 nold, Constable & Co., Park & Tilford, 
 Tiffany and many others of less note. The 
 Worth Monument stands in the triangle 
 formed by Broadway, Fifth Avenue and 
 26th Street. Madison Square Garden, 
 architecturally one of the finest buildings 
 in the city, and the largest building in 
 America devoted entirely to amusements, 
 faces the northeast corner of Madison 
 Square. A magnificent fountain and several 
 fine statues, including the famous one of 
 Admiral Farragut, the work of Augustus 
 St. Gaudens, and the one of William H. 
 Seward, by Randolph Rogers, are the chief 
 ornaments of the Square. 
 
 Union Square, bounded by 14th Street, 
 17th Street, Broadway and Fourth Avenue, 
 occupies about three and a half acres. 
 Here are the Lafayette, Washington union 
 and Lincoln statues. An ornamental SQUARE, 
 fountain in the centre and a plaza on 
 the north bordered by a row of colored gas 
 lamps make a beautiful illumination at

 large out-door meetings. 
 
 Washington Square occupies a space of 
 about nine acres, at the lower end of Fifth 
 Avenue. It was once the most fashionable 
 WASHINGTON res idence section of New York,

 aristocratic character, some of the oldest 
 and wealthiest families of New York still 
 having their homes here. The Judson

 marble Washington Arch are conspicuous 
 ornaments of the Square.

 the concert hall and cheap museums, and 
 its brilliantly lighted streets at night, 
 thronged with people of all nationalities

 most interesting sights of the metropolis. 
 
 The Tombs, or City Prison, at Frank-

 example of Egyptian architecture. It is 
 built on the filled-in bed of a 
 pond known as the " Collect," 
 which was once supposed to be bottomless, 
 and which took years to fill. The Tombs

INTERESTING TRIPS ABOUT 
 TOWN. 
 
 ATRIP over the principal Elevated Rail- 
 way, surface and stage lines of the 
 metropolis should not be omitted. 
 
 Three distinct cable lines run up Broad- 
 way. The first is the Broadway line, which 
 extends on Broadway from South Ferry to 
 45th Street, thence on Seventh Avenue to 
 59th Street and Central Park. Transfers 
 may be made at various points without ad- 
 ditional charge to lines running to all of 
 the principal ferries, Brooklyn Bridge and 
 Harlem. 
 
 The second cable line is the Columbus 
 Avenue line, extending on Broadway from 
 South Ferry to 45th Street; thence on 
 Seventh Avenue to 53d Street, COL UMBUS 
 West 53d Street to Ninth or AVENUE 
 Columbus Avenue ; thence north CABLE « 
 to 109th Street, where connection is made 
 with the Lenox Avenue Underground Elec- 
 tric Line, which crosses over from Colum- 
 bus Avenue through 11 6th Street to Lenox 
 Avenue, and runs north on Lenox Avenue 
 to 146th Street and the Harlem River. 
 
 The same transfers by the Columbus 
 Avenue Line as by the Broadway Cable Line. 
 
 The Lenox Avenue Line is called the 
 '* Underground Electric." It is not an

 the cable line. This is one of the first lines 
 of the kind operated in the United States, 
 and it is said that, if it proves a success 
 during this winter, something of this char- 
 acter will doubtless be applied to most 
 surface roads in the metropolis. 
 
 The third cable line on Broadway is the 
 Lexington Avenue road, which runs from 
 South Ferry to 23d Street, passing east on

 Street one block from Grand Central Sta- 
 tion of the New York Central. At 11 6th 
 Street it has a branch line for the Lenox 
 Avenue, connecting the Lexington with the 
 Lenox Line and the western part of the city. 
 
 The Lexington Avenue Cable Line affords 
 one of the most interesting rides in the 
 entire eastern part of the continent. It is 
 more like the famous lines of San Francisco 
 than any other cable road in the United 
 States. The ride over the hills on this line 
 will be a revelation to all those who have 
 not taken it. 
 
 It will be an interesting experience to 
 board a Belt Line car at South Ferry and 
 ride over the entire route, up on

 east side of the city, back to your starting 
 point.

 In closing the Casino to the public early in the present winter — the 
 very cream of one of the most auspicious and eventful periods in 
 recent theatrical history — Canary & Lederer but set aside a selfish 
 interest, at great personal cost and almost interminable confusion, in 
 order that the general confidence in the security of the Casino should 
 be the more firmly impressed upon the lar^e body of its patrons. 
 
 Though no question had ever arisen that reflected on the facilities 
 of the Casino, there was, however, a sweeping desire that all amuse- 
 ment resorts, of whatsoever character or repute, should be so remodel- 
 ed and equipped as to conform to the lines of advanced architecture 
 and to the requirements of the Building Department, which then and 
 still commands the respect of the public. 
 
 The suggestions for the improvement of the Casino which were 
 submitted by the Building Department to Canary & Lederer were 
 not all imperative of observance, yet were unhesitatingly applauded 
 by the latter and at once put into execution, as much from a spirit of 
 enterprise as from a motive of approval. 
 
 What was to be well done should be done quickly. 
 
 Accordingly immediate steps were taken to cancel pending en- 
 gagements and make suitable disposition of the extensive force cf 
 attachees for the interval of reconstruction. 
 
 It is now with pardonable pride that Canary & Lederer claim that 
 all suggested improvements have been accomplished far more effect- 
 ively than either the Building Department or themselves had the least 
 reason to anticipate. The modifications to which the Casino has been 
 subjected have enhanced its value as a structure and its interest as 
 an amusement resort. The assuring distinction of being now abso- 
 lutely fireproof has become an indelibly added feature of the peren- 
 nially attractive Casino. The interior alterations principally affected 
 that portion of the edifice behind the scenes. Iron and adamant 
 plaster have been substituted for all woodwork, and an asbestos cur- 
 tain has been hung in place of the former elaborately ornamental one. 
 Certain aisles have also been widened and exits enlarged. Massive, 
 capacious fire escapes have likewise been erected on the Broadway 
 and 39th Street fronts of the house, notwithstanding the presence of 
 those which were originally applied when the building was first con- 
 ceived. 
 
 As the attraction with which to open the new year Canary & 
 Lederer announce that they have arranged with Mr. T. Henry French 
 for the exclusive rights in this country of "The Lady Slavey," the 
 current rage in the British Empire, and will present the same at the 
 Casino with what will be unequivocally admitted the most ambitious 
 cast with which any similar work has ever been undertaken in the his- 
 tory of lyric comedy.

 [Reprinted from " King's Handbook of New York City."] 
 
 The Grand Union Hotel (European Plan) is located at Fourth 
 Avenue and 426. Street, just across the street from the Grand Central 
 Station. It is architecturally unassuming, but it is very large, its 
 dimensions being 200 by 135 feet. It contains over 500 sleeping rooms, 
 and does the largest business of any hotel in New York in respect to 
 the number of guests entertained. The features which first strike 
 the visitor to the hotel are its cleanliness and quaintness, and an air 
 of home comfort which is lacking in many hotels. 
 
 Simeon Ford, the senior proprietor, having been asked to account 
 for the continued and growing success of the Grand Union, in spite 
 of the building of many new and elegant hotels, said: " In the first 
 place, we have a location which, for transient business, is unique. 
 We are just across the street from the Grand Central Station, and 
 travelers, instead of having to struggle with hackmen and express- 
 men, can step across to our house, and we deliver their baggage in 
 their rooms in a few minutes without charge. Then again we have 
 a moderate-priced house. We give a nice room for a dollar a day, 
 but, if people want to pay more, we have handsome suites which cost 
 four or five dollars a day. Our food is of the best quality obtainable, 
 and well cooked; and we don't ask enough for it to bankrupt a man. 
 We are cranks on the subject of cleanliness. We are eternally scrub- 
 bing and mopping. Then again we are within easy distance of all 
 the best shops and theatres. But, above all, we attribute our success 
 to the fact that we try to take good care of our guests and make them 
 feel at home, and we try our best to impress upon our employees that 
 we get our living out of the traveling public, and that they are 
 entitled to some consideration, and when our employees do not agree 
 with us on this point we ask them to ' seek fresh fields and pastures 
 new '."

 : \ Kpmpmtrixnce of Jenny kind 
 
 IN NEW YORK, 
 
 WITH A BRIEF HISTORY or 
 
 Broadway Central Hotel 
 
 ON part of the site now occupied In this great hotel, at 
 667 to 077 Broadway, opposite Bond Street, was once 
 Tripler Hall, built in 1849, where immense au- 
 diences listened to a voice perhaps never since equaled for 
 purity and volume. 
 
 I t was here that the world-famous Jenny Lind achieved 
 her great American triumphs, and what Mr. Haynes, the 
 new proprietor, has now made his grand dining hall was a 
 portion of the great audience hall, in which the divine 
 songstress thrilled fashionable New York with her wonderful 
 powers forty years ago. 
 
 The first hotel was built here in 1856. This was suc- 
 ceeded in 1869 by a new building, which was at that time 
 the palace hotel of New York. This immense structure, 
 built in the most substantial manner, at a cost of nearlv 
 S2, 000, 000, was long and familiarly known as the Grand 
 Central. Mr. Tilly Haynes, the well-known proprietor of 
 the United States Hotel, Boston, secured control of the 
 property a few years ago, and at once set about the work of 
 rejuvenation on a scale that made people stare and wonder. 
 
 To begin with, he changed the name of the hotel to 
 " Broadway Central," which is descriptive in a double sense. 
 Both inside and out the work of reconstruction was carried 
 on. For a hundred days the pay-roll for laborers alone was 
 Si, 000 per day, for Mr. Haynes has torn out and remodeled 
 the interior according to his ideas of what a hotel should 
 be, and to-day it is the model hotel of New York. 
 
 The hotel is conducted on both the European and 
 American plans. On the European Plan the rates range 
 from $1. 00 upward, and on the American Plan from $2.50 
 upwards. Exceedingly advantageous arrangements can be 
 made by large parties and permanent guests. 
 
 The moderate schedule of prices which prevails goes 
 with the very best service and supplies obtainable, the 
 combination of moderate rates and excellence being made 
 possible by the large capacity of the house. 
 
 A glance at the map in the front of this book will show 
 that the hotel is central indeed. It is midway between 
 Grand Central Station and the lower ferries, and by means 
 of the cable line is directly accessible from every point of 
 arrival . 
 
 Mr. Haynes also publishes a map expressly for his 
 guests, which will be found a valuable guide to the city. 
 Intending visitors should write to Mr. Haynes for a copy.

 HOTELS in New York City change hands frequently. 
 Strange faces, new management, and new methods seem 
 to take away from them the comfortable, homelike at- 
 mosphere to which the traveler has become accustomed. Here 
 and there, however, there are successful establishments which 
 continue to hold their own under the same management. 
 
 The St Denis 
 
 Is a hotel of this character, and under the direction of its old-time 
 proprietor, William Taylor, continues one of the most pleasant 
 and attractive hotels in the city. 
 
 It- is located corner of Broadway and Eleventh Street, directly 
 opposite Grace Church, in the centre of the city. The Brcadway 
 Cable Cars pass the door, affording quick transit either up or 
 down town. For families as well as business men it is most con- 
 venient. Accommodations are ample for a large number of guests 
 and the service prompt and unobtrusive. The menu is most 
 elaborate, both in American and French cookery. In season and 
 out of season there is nothing wanting to tempt or satisfy the 
 most exacting epicure or accomplished bon vivant.
