According to E. Hepple Hall's "Picturesque Tourist" published 1877, The Windsor Hotel, operated by Hawk, Waite, & Wetherbee on Fifth Avenue, was "more magnificent and commodious" and contained "more real comforts, than any other Hotel in America." Picture yourself in the posh breakfast room, dining on beef steaks, calf's liver and bacon, clams, eggs à l'Espagnole, tongue, potatoes Lyonnaise, rice muffins, hot dipped toast, etc.
