A Toast to New York

The first issue of New York Magazine was published on April 8, 1968, exactly 56 years ago today. To celebrate, we present our annual “Yesteryear” issue, overseen by food editor Alan Sytsma and deputy editor Alexis Swerdloff, which celebrates the history of New York City as told entirely through its restaurants.

Featuring dozens of era-defining spots — like the restaurant where Elaine Kaufman got her start, 1905’s party of the year at Delmonico’s, and the breakfast spots that nourished the city’s club kids, jazz saxophonists, and East Village punks — the issue is less a celebration of what we ate than it is of the people who define the most vibrant dining scene in America. Plus, we’ll be releasing even more stories on some of the most defining NYC restaurants, which will be available exclusively online.
