Architecture of Leisure: The Florida Resort Hotels of Henry Flagler and Henry Plant
I am currently reading this fascinating book, a sort of walking tour of Manhattan with an emphasis on old theatre and entertainment sites: the Hebrew Actor's Union, the Atlantic Garden, the Lincoln Theater. David Freeland obviously loves New York, its history, its vanished and not yet vanished places. This is a must for anyone who is passionate about New York theatre.
