Welcome to Eater's First Ever Classics Week

Ladies and gentlemen, Eater readers of all ages, get ready to celebrate the classics for five days. Starting right now and ending, oh, around 5 p.m. Friday, Eater will be your headquarters for all things classic. That's right, our first annual Classics Week starts right this second. All week long we'll shine a spotlight on the institutions that make this city great, the places that shaped the dining and drinking universe you know and love today.

Stay tuned as we delve into maps, interviews, guides and much more of storied restaurants and bars of past and present, and take a glimpse into what may just be the classics of the future. Here we go.
