Ashley, Diana. Where to Dine in Thirty-Nine, A Guide, with 200 Recipes by Famous Chefs. First Edition. 1939. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—jacket shows a repaired tear to the front cover and minor fraying.

This book was published the year that New York City hosted the World’s Fair, a time when an expensive meal in the city was considered to be “at least $2.00.” The book is arranged alphabetically and includes a brief description of each establishment followed by a recipe for one of the restaurant’s signature dishes. Establishments profiled include Astor Roof, El Morocco, Bill’s Gay Nineties, Hotel Algonquin, Luchow’s, the Cotton Club, and the Russian Tea Room.

“El Morocco. Definitely the last word in chic and not the place for anyone who isn’t looking that way.”
