On the left, Chinese grocers and merchants going about their day beneath kanji signage and pagoda rooflines. On the right, Delmonico's — one of the most famous restaurants in American history, the place that invented Eggs Benedict and Lobster Newburg, where Diamond Jim Brady held court and where New York society came to be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe two worlds occupy the same street without acknowledging each other. Horse-drawn wagons navigate between early automobiles. A cat darts across the pavement. Deliverymen haul crates in every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDelmonico's has opened and closed multiple times since 1927, operating under the same name at various Manhattan addresses. The Chinatown it shared this corner with has transformed and expanded and contracted and survived everything the city has thrown at it. The street itself is still there — still dense, still alive, still completely itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSarg drew this corner two years before the crash. It looks like a city that expects to last forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reproduced from Tony Sarg's \u003cem\u003eNew York\u003c\/em\u003e (1927), a limited folio of 24 color lithographs capturing the city at the height of the Jazz Age.
