In the early 19th century, 250 glass-covered lanes linked the most fashionable parts of the city. Famed for luxuries, they were a living theater as well – places to see and be seen. The rise of the great department stores, the buidling of sidewalks and a crackdown on gambling and prostitution caused their eclipse.

We explore the most interesting.
