“It is indeed A BLESSED EVENT” —says WALTER WINCHELL Wruar is this thing that sets The Winch upon his famous ear; that half the town does rave about and toasts with honest beer? Well, by the holy chops of St. Pancreas, we tried to be prosaic about this thing. We cleaned the Corona with Kummel—for inspiration; drove out the cat, and tightened our belt. If you have napkins, prepare to use them now! Now, right off the arm, if you live within fifty miles of New York— you're our man. If you ever come to New York, if you might conceivably come to New York, or if you know anybody who is planning a trip to New York—listen: DINING IN NEW YORK was written by Rian James, after 70,000 people had written him for information concerning New York's 19,000 restaurants. From this amazing number Rian James has chosen 125—the best, the most famous, the most original; in short, those which, by reason of superior cuisine, entertainment, or atmosphere, stand out—high, wide and apart. Here is all the detailed information—the what, when, where, and how much—that no native New Yorker can tell you. Included are sections on night clubs, Harlem, The Village, Yorkville, wines and_tip- ping, cocktail recipes and—well, many other things. DINING IN NEW YORK is a godsend to the native son (or daughter), the visitor, the casual diner or the gourmet. Here are man’s greatest mas- terpieces—from Crépe Suzettes to Irish Stew, from Bouillabaise to Sauer- braten, from Moule Mariniere to Beef a la Strogonoff. . . .
