Taking the etymology of the Manhattan cocktail as our starting point, we look at some of the interconnected scandals that surround its origin, in particular the story of Evelyn Nesbitt and Harry Kendall Thaw's murder of Stanford White. Along the way we cover the history of tabloid news and the skyscraper boom in New York in the early 20th century.
