History

Printing memorabilia and an inexpensive hot lunch

In 2007 The Press Box, at 932 2nd Avenue, was a meeting-guide writer's favorite spot for an inexpensive hot lunch¹. A 2015 review found it styled like an old village newspaper printing press, an old, classy joint with lots of framed printing memorabilia on the walls². Listings for The Press Box at that address now mark it permanently closed^{3, 4}; when it went, we couldn't find out.
