As you traverse the streets of Midtown Manhattan, the new skyscraper known as 432 Park Avenue pops in and out of view unexpectedly, hidden behind the Waldorf-Astoria at one moment, then looming menacingly over Lever House'a giant watchtower of blindingly white concrete with the proportions of an elongated toothpaste box stood on end.

Restaurants, bars, and cafés have long shaped the character of neighborhoods, cities, and entire cultures, but in recent decades, architecture took its place alongside the cuisine as a defining feature of a meal.

Bloomberg’s New York: Class and Governance in the Luxury City, by Julian Brash. University of Georgia Press, 2011, 344 pages, $25. But the secretive, imperious Bloomberg is also a billionaire whose fortune

Many point to the rise of single-patient rooms which afford their own privacy.
