The Four Seasons: A History of America's Premier Restaurant - Hardcover

For more than three decades, The Four Seasons has been synonymous with gracious dining, high standards of food and service, the most sought after clientele - in short, with the kind of majesty only a handful of other restaurants in the world can muster. Unique among New York's restaurants, The Four Seasons has also come to epitomize the city in much the same way as do other long-standing institutions - from the Museum of Modern Art to the New York Times. And a great deal of what has occurred in New York during the tenure of The Four Seasons has been cooked up in its two dining rooms.
The Four Seasons is packed with the inside scoop on the most inside of establishments. But The Four Seasons is much more than a fascinating social history. Photographs, newspaper clippings, menus, seating charts from the restaurant's files, as well as 22 signature recipes give the reader a taste of what it's like to be a member of this exclusive club. In addition, personal anecdotes from many of the restaurant's most esteemed patrons grace the book's pages.
The Four Seasons has become both an example and an exemplar of New York's cultural and business life, and The Four Seasons retells this story with wit and insight.
