By 1933 Brunckhorst a...

    Scientific Americanis the U.S.'s oldest continuously published magazine, counting Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla among its contributors (150 Nobel laureates have been featured on these pages over the years). It might seem like the offspring of California tech but it's origins are in New York City, with inventor Rufus Porter.

    No less an authority than the New York Times has ranked this the #1 packaged frozen treat. You can find it anywhere but it began in New York City.

    Schaefer Beer seems like it should be a Milwaukee stalwart but it started out in New York City, Manhattan to be specific. The F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company, founded by Frederick Schaefer and his brother Maximilian, goes all the way back to 1842. Their first expansion was to Park Avenue and 51st St., which is hard to imagine holding a brewery at ...

Minwaxbegan in 1904 in Brooklyn, when Harrison developed the earliest version of "the Rolls-Royce of wood finishing products." He eventually took over the business on his own, trademarking th...

    Polly-Ois a staple for many, especially famous for its mozzarella, ricotta, and string cheeses. The business helped develop American tastes for these product, being the first to introduce string cheese to the U.S. Noticing a dearth of quality cheese, Italian immigrant Giuseppe Pollio began his line from a Coney Island storefront in 1899. The name w...
