New York City's history is rich and diverse, but in the ever-evolving city that never sleeps, little of old New York has stood the test of time.
So he jumped in the car to go on a little adventure to check out five of the oldest establishments in New York City.
On any list of New York City's oldest and most prestigious restaurants, you're sure to find the legendary Delmonico's.
My name is Billy Oliva.
I'm the Executive Chef of Delmonico's, the first fine-dining restaurant in the country.
Delmonico defined what restaurants are in America from the 1800s going forward.
It's the first restaurant to use tablecloths, printed menus, it was also the first restaurant to hire a woman.
You can see our influence on menus across the country.
Baked Alaska, the wedge salad, Delmonico steak, eggs benedict, if you see that on the menu, those dishes were invented here.
We've been setting trends for 182 years and we're not slowing down anytime soon.
