Tammany Hall, the building, still stands. Sort of.[1] It hasn't been used for political purposes since the 1970s. It's been through several owners.
The entire interior out to the walls was demolished a few years ago, and rebuilt as office space.
Slack was supposed to lease the space, but that fell through. There's now a Petco store on the ground floor. There was a liquor store for a while. Big comedown.
> My favorite preserved fish in New York City comes from Russ & Daughters, an icon of New York cuisine that’s been around since 1914.
Russ & Daughters gets their smoked fish from Acme[1], which is a huge purveyor of smoked fish. So the curious from this blog don't necessarily need to schlep to Russ & Daughters to get it.
(Caveat being that it's very hard to slice lox correctly; you should be able to read the newspaper through it[2]. Preserved Fish the human presumably never had to deal with such problems.)
I love smoked salmon but in the UK it's mostly farmed trash so I don't buy it any more. If you look hard enough, smoked wild salmon is available, but at ~£1/g it's well out of my price range.
