John Marsh, chef and managing partner at Greensquare Tavern, is a holistic lifestyle coach. His Flatiron District restaurant features lovingly worn blue-and-white tile floors, exposed brick walls, and tabletop plants in terra cotta pots.
About 80 years after many of the images were captured, Miriam Berman opened one of those shoe boxes. It was then that her love of the Flatiron area truly developed and her life changed.
More people are moving into the Flatiron District, buildings are being converted into residential units, and commercial and retail rents continue to increase.
