In the midst of a series of urban renewal proposals, lower Manhattan shifted from an economically depressed area to a commercial hub throughout the 1960s. Though there was a relatively small population of full-time residents in the neighborhood, there were ample dining establishments, some of which still remain today. Delmonico's, the famed steakhouse that credits itself with the creation of both eggs benedict and baked Alaska, drew in customers to its original location at 56 Beaver Street. Numerous restaurants including Harmony Bar & Grill, Harvey's, and Horse Shoe restaurant, catered to residents and neighborhood employees alike. Click on through to catch a glimpse of lower Manhattan in the 1960s.
