Dayton is represented here by her 1925 guide, New York in Seven Days, a collaboration with Louise Bascom Barratt. Directed at a general audience, the guide went through three printings by November of 1926. The volume's premise is that the narrator is showing her visiting friend, Jane, around the city. In the passage excerpted here, the two women visit Greenwich Village.
