Book Club: Tom Roston's 'The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World'

The glitzy and glamorous Windows on the World restaurant sat at the top of the North Tower of New York’s iconic Twin Towers. The restaurant boasted what author Tom Roston has described as a “God’s eye view” high atop one of the tallest buildings in New York City. For 25 years, the restaurant drew prideful New Yorkers and tourists from around the globe until it was destroyed in the terrorist attack of 9/11. The book tells both the story of the birth and death of the restaurant and the rebirth of New York. Tom Roston's The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World: The Twin Towers, Windows on the World, and the Rebirth of New York is our November selection for "Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club."
