Welcome to West 43rd Street in New York City during the 1920’s.  Take a look at what downtown New York looked like before you begin planning for your party.  You will see that the New York streets are filled with hustle and bustle as the men walk the streets in their topcoats and hats while escorting their ladies like proper gentlemen.  Make sure you stay on the sidewalk because the Model T car is a major invention during this time.
