Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-14 00:00:00 Jeffrey Rutledge It's very anecdotal which gets a little old in the second half (mainly I was disappointed that it didn't mention MINE - The window Garden in Cincinnati). It offers many insights into womens' lives in the early 20th century. We take so much for granted: women today can easily walk into a restaurant unescorted but it used to be unthinkable. Also I had no idea that tea rooms in Greenwich Village were quite the bohemian thing to the point that they became tourist attractions.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-17 00:00:00 Robert Ross I originally bought this because I thought it seemed quaint but it's actually a really meaty history of tea rooms, which I didn't realize helped spawn the craze for "chicken and waffles" in the 1920s. It was one of the first business ventures for a lot of liberated women after World War I. Really well-written and well-researched book with interesting historical photographs of tea rooms. I didn't know that Greenwich Village's bohemian background featured a lot of tea rooms. Recommended.
