英语词汇ladies’ mile的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Ladies’ Mile. A. T. Stewart’s Cast-Iron Palace, built in 1862, was the first store encountered when walking north along New York’s Ladies’ Mile. At the top of this stretch of lower Broadway and Sixth Avenue between 9th and 23rd Streets in Manhattan was Stern Brothers. Many early department stores, such as R. H. Macys’, Lord and Taylor, and B. Altman, lined the elegant, cobblestoned streets of this shopping district, which played host daily to exquisitely clad ladies in flowing gowns and feath- ered bonnets who alighted from their horse-drawn carriages and floated toward the grand emporiums. Women promenaded in their best here up until the end of the 19th century, when the shopping district began to move uptown, but many of the old buildings that housed the stores remain. The women who shopped there may have inspired the phrase window-shopping.
