There were one or two Doubledays nearby on Fifth, a Rizzoli (in a Fifth Ave space that later became Henri Bendel after Henri Bendel moved from 57th and Rizzoli moved to 57th), a B.Dalton...and basically a bookstore on every other block.podsnaphttp://janeweir.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-12101449611905455722018-12-27T17:57:16.553-08:002018-12-27T17:57:16.553-08:00I also fondly recall this wonderful building--but ...I also fondly recall this wonderful building--but I recall that it had one other incarnation: <br />I think it was in-between the time that it was an H&H and the time that it became the Deli: a large bookstore was in there!Seth Joseph Weinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034517169843426876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-74915329934475283732018-12-18T06:19:43.451-08:002018-12-18T06:19:43.451-08:00Fascinating, Steve.

I remember it as a good architectural block with one great Mansard roof. Sadly, I had lost all my cameras to a burglary early on and didn't record much during my early years here, so this recollection hits on one of the blocks of Manhattan I frequently strain to rebuild in my mind. The H&H, sadly, was long missing. I only got to enjoy the modern one at 3rd and 42nd for a time.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565030682360603009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-20728056208018816442018-12-17T15:12:40.778-08:002018-12-17T15:12:40.778-08:00Our neighborhood H&H was maybe 977 8th Ave, be...Our neighborhood H&H was maybe 977 8th Ave, between 57th & 58th right off Columbus Circle.<br />Any chance of a blog on that one?<br />I lived at 315 E 57th, our neighbors ran the bowling alley above the H&H.<br />We moved in 1974, on a visit back in 1977 the H&H was a Burger King and the bowling alley upstairs had closed.<br />When I next strode that stretch in 1997, the entire corner of the block was now home to a huge green residential tower.<br />My candy store, H&H building, Woolworths,my Karate school above Woolworths, Little Italy Pizzeria, our subway entrance at the corner of 57th, ...all gone.Steve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427131052049077742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-21600272699632343772018-12-17T11:49:49.659-08:002018-12-17T11:49:49.659-08:00Isn't it great when the Landmarks Commission s...Isn't it great when the Landmarks Commission simply decides Art Moderne isn't for them? Let it go. I hated seeing this demolished. My mother and I had breakfast at the NY Delicatessen, strangely around the time of that murder. Aside from being a nice room, the breakfast was noteworthy for being rather expensive!
