For over 10 years, every April, we’ve marked our birthday with our “Yesteryear” issue. Each edition looks back at the story of New York City through a thematic lens; our 56th Anniversary issue recounts the history of over 50 restaurants that made the city over the decades and the people that made them iconic.

For some more nostalgia, we’re revisiting “Yesteryear” issues of the past. Keep reading for our explorations of, dressing up, going to work, the “It” girl through the decades, and more.
