Manhattan's Forgotten Landmarks Worth Preserving

Manhattan's Forgotten Landmark's Worth Preserving

MANHATTAN DEVELOPMENT HAS finally slowed - which means it's time to take stock of what remains. Now that buildings once destined for the wrecking ball have been given a reprieve, maybe we can save a few more.

Earlier this year, it was reported on the Lost City blog that Frankie & Johnnie's, the venerable steakhouse and former speakeasy on West 45th Street, would not be closing as had been previously expected. The restaurant, along with the 19th-century building that houses it, will likely remain visible for at least two more years, its owners having renegotiated their lease.
