Info
The NEW YORK FIRST Company is the result of the evolution of an idea.
For over twenty years, Michael and Jeffrey Turback operated Turback's of Ithaca,
an upscale restaurant in the college town of Ithaca, New York. It was at
Turback's that the two brothers developed the concept of "New York First." On a
mission to showcase the bounty of New York's food and wine, the restaurant
pioneered the concept of regional American cuisine, and attracted national
attention in the process.
The Original Made in New York Stores were spin-offs of the Turback's concept,
selling not only food and wine, but now a wide range of uniquely New York
products -- operated first as retail shops in Ithaca and Corning, New York, then
as a national mail order catalog. Encouraged by the possibilities of the
Internet, the Turbacks created a shopping site at www.NewYorkFirst.com in 1997,
and the Internet's first department store became a reality. The motto: "Think
Globally, Shop Locally."
The influential Website celebrated the New York State of Mind. Using an
innovative "elevator" (developed by the remarkable people at Cyrus Company) as a
navigational tool, shoppers were able to easily locate products in categories of
their choosing. Today, the shopping choices are expanded beyond "Made in New
York," to include original, witty, or simply the best-of-its-kind gifts,
supported by prompt, personal service and commitment to community and place.
The NEW YORK FIRST Company offices are located at 373 Enfield Falls Road,
Ithaca, New York 14850-8758.
