Recently, a friend gave me a small antique tour book from 1923 titled, "The Sidewalks of New York". The book chronicles seemingly every street in Downtown and Midtown Manhattan as a passerby would have seen it. Many of the passages are quite dated, with references to several groups of people that are considered quite offensive today. My goal over the next couple of days is to post side by side comparisons of the neighborhoods included in the book with their 2008 counterparts. Stay tuned.
