"I’ll have what she’s having"
might be the most famous
line uttered in this
delicatessen, first established
in 1888, but its own
WWII-era slogan features

sandwich, not the classic
pastrami on rye.

RIP CBGB, 1973–2006.
You can keep the Bowery club’s
memory alive with a variety of
T-shirts, hoodies and baby-grows.
Though the name at first stood for
‘country, bluegrass and blues’,
the venue was most famous for
nurturing punk and new-wave bands
such as the Ramones and Blondie.

Water towers are not just a feature of America’s Great
Plains – there are more than 12,000 of them in New York
City, perched on rooftops, and often on the rusty side.
Build your own version out of recycled chipboard at
