New York Originals: A Guide to the City’s Classic Shops & Mom-and-Pops
Born out of an Emmy-winning PBS series (which returns to WNET in January), this coffee-table tome also serves as a hardcover guidebook to New York’s precious, fading family businesses. See inside Williamsburg’s classic Bamonte’s, a fourth-generation red-sauce joint, and downtown’s Fountain Pen Hospital, an ink superstore that so charmed Bill Cosby that he recorded the shop’s voice-mail message (he’s a pen freak). Author Jamie McDonald profiled 70 cigar rollers, bakers and copper-pot makers for New York Originals—even Brooklyn’s gilded Grand Prospect Hall (you’ve seen its commercials; the family who runs this over-the-top venue are truly New York originals). newyorkoriginalsonline.com, $24.95
