Florence Apartment House

The Florence Apartment House (later called the Florence Apartments, the Florence, and Hotel Florence) was an apartment building in New York City on the northeast corner of East 18th Street and Fourth Avenue (later known as East Union Place and today as Park Avenue South). The seven-story, 42-unit building was built in 1878 by Virginia Leedy Matthews, née Brander, for some $500,000 ($15,162,069 today), mostly financed by a $400,000 balloon loan from The Bank for Savings in the City of New-York. Matthews was the wife of Edward Matthews, "a real estate entrepreneur who at one time controlled more property from Wall Street south than anyone else."It was designed by a Belgian emigrant, Emile Gruwé, and built by the firm of White and McEvoy. Faced with pressed brick and a Nova Scotia stone façade, the seven-story building occupied 200 feet on East 18th Street and 53 feet on Fourth Avenue. It had interior plumbing and was intended to be the city's first fireproof apartment house. It was designed so it could be operated as a hotel, and did so for a time; the New-York Historical Society holds a photo and documents about Hotel Florence.Among the building's prominent residents were publisher and editor Francis Pharcellus Church; Jane Louise Melville, the widow of author Herman Melville; and Jane Byrd Mercer, wife of architect Schuyler Hamilton Jr. Since 1909, the site has been occupied by 225 Park Avenue South, a 19-story office building.

Old Town Bar and Restaurant
Old Town Bar and Restaurant

The Old Town Bar and Restaurant is a noted bar and restaurant located between Park Avenue and Broadway at 45 E. 18th Street in the Flatiron District, Manhattan in New York City, one block north of Union Square. Originally a German establishment called Viemeisters, the bar has been in continuous operation since 1892, making it one of the oldest bars in the New York City area. When it first opened, Viemeisters was a place that served only drinks, but during Prohibition, the bar was forced to change its name to Craig's Restaurant and start serving food in order to operate as a speakeasy. After the end of Prohibition and the closing of the nearby 18th Street Subway station in 1948, the bar began to fall into disrepair. It wasn't until the late 1960s, when local bar manager Larry Meagher took over operations, that the bar saw a resurgence of popularity.The Old Town Bar has managed to preserve a lot of its original fixtures which date back to the 19th century. The bar itself is 55 feet long and made of marble and mahogany. The ceiling, made of "tin" – actually pressed steel tiles, is 16 feet high. Other original furnishings include large beveled mirrors, antique cash registers, wooden booths, and New York's oldest dumbwaiter that ferries food orders from the upstairs kitchen down to the bar. Another notable feature is the row of old-style full-length urinals in the first floor Men's room, dating back to 1910. A creaky wooden staircase (also original) leads to an upstairs dining area, which was closed for several years before being reopened in the 1970s to cater to an unexpected increase in patrons coming to the bar on their lunch break.Several artists and Hollywood directors have used the Old Town as a backdrop for their productions and movie scenes, including rap group House of Pain for a music video for their 1992 single "Jump Around", and director Whit Stillman for his 1998 feature film The Last Days of Disco. It also appeared in the films The Devil's Own (1997), State of Grace (1990), Q & A (1990), Bullets over Broadway (1994), and Madonna's 1993 "Bad Girl" video. The bar also appeared in the television shows, Sex and the City, Mad About You, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and in the opening montage of Late Night with David Letterman from 1987 to 1992. The exterior was used in the television sitcom "Mad About You" to represent the fictional establishment "Riffs" in the show.
