    Thank you for giving a shout out to and commemorating B.Altman & Co. Having worked there and spending much time in this neighborhood at every place shown brought back many pleasurable memories. From exploring Sniffen Court with my first boss to meeting friends and coworkers regularly at Morgan Library steps on beautiful days, I once knew it like the back of my hand... embracing history.

    "Here's your tea, you wanker" is just how tea is served here in the UK. Btw, referring to someone with a knighthood ("sir") as Sir and then their surname (I think you said "Sir Howe") is like when a non-native English speaker says, for instance, "Mr John", when John is their first name. It'd be Sir Tom Delgado, not Sir Delgado. For services to tea. And wankers.
