This round coaster set features a Commissioners’ Map and Survey of Manhattan Island drawn in 1811. Early Manhattan grew organically, but as the city’s population expanded rapidly, tripling between 1790 and 1810, plans were developed to prepare for and regulate the city’s anticipated growth northward. Savor a piece of New York history with your coffee or tea or cocktail.
