Summary: Wonderful look at an American institution

Alex von Bidder--a co-owner along with Julian Niccolini--has teamed up with John Mariani to write this most enjoyable history of the 41-year-old restaurant. The book bubbles over with rich anecdotes, it captures the social drama of New York, it tells a delightful story of success with a touch of humor and humility.
