Reservations for accommodations should be made well in advance of your contemplated visit to the cit

From one of the best (and for some reason uncommon) guidebooks to New York City ever published, T he New York Guidebook edited by John A. Kouwenhoven (Dell) 1964, comes this useful list of every hotel in Manhattan. We should clarify every with the word approved hotel and motel. In other words, the flop houses on The Bowery or other squalid hotels did not make the final cut.
All together there are 183 hotels listed in the book. If you are wondering about the prices, they are not listed. But by checking another pamphlet from the time I discovered The Plaza Hotel was charging from $20 $34 per night for a double room, while The Madison Square Hotel was charging $7 $8 per night for a double.
You will note that all the telephone numbers begin with the letter prefix s such as GR for Gramercy, tall ship cruises BU for Butterfield, CI for Circle and RH for Rhinelander. This was because the telephone exchange corresponded with the neighborhood tall ship cruises a person or business was located in.  It is a much more picturesque way of assigning a phone number and made remembering the number much easier. PEnnsylvania 6-5000 anybody?
This is presented as a research tool, but for many the list will bring up a wisp of nostalgia when you see the names Hotel Astor, The Drake, Biltmore and Savoy. I wish there was a list like this available online for every decade tall ship cruises in New York City from the 1800 s and on.
Reservations for accommodations should be made well in advance of your contemplated tall ship cruises visit to the city, particularly during the time that the World s Fair is open. Here-with, a partial listing of approved hotels and motels in Manhattan, culled from the pamphlet by The New York World s Fair Housing Bureau, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York 20.
