New York City, 1987.

The bull is running. The Dow has climbed 44 percent in seven months. On the trading floors of lower Manhattan, a new class is emerging... young, ambitious, flush with cash, and hungry for everything money can buy.

This was the world that gave rise to the power lunch — a concept born in The Grill Room, where Philip Johnson's magnificent brass sculptures caught the light above tables occupied by titans of the era. Across the city, fine dining flourished under new patronage. Le Cirque drew the A-list. Lutèce elevated French cuisine to an art. The Quilted Giraffe became known as “the Studio 54 of restaurants.” Windows on the World offered panoramic views from the 107th floor of the World Trade Center, and Jams on the Upper East Side buzzed with mergers-and-acquisitions men, models, and magnates. A generation of brilliant young chefs — Bouley, Boulud, Vongerichten — arrived in New York to feed them all.

This summer, we take you back to a time when Manhattan ran the world.
