- Mortgage makambani akatanga kupa mogeji-yakachengetedzwa kuchengetedzeka, mhando nyowani yekudyara.
- Imwe yezvivakwa zvitsva yaive 12-nhurikidzwa Libby's Hotera neBaths, yakavakwa muna 1926 pakona yeChrystie neDelancey Migwagwa mudivi rekumabvazuva kweNew York.

Anovandudza aive Max Bernstein, mutorwa achibva kuScutzk, Russia, uyo akasvika muNew York nemhuri yake muna 1900 apo Max aive nemakore gumi nerimwe. Migwagwa iyo Max akakurira kudivi rekumabvazuva yakazadzwa nevatengesi vengoro, vamwe vaine ngoro dzinodhonzwa nemabhiza, vana vachitamba mitambo yemumigwagwa uye vanogara tenement vachitandara pazvitanda. Nehurombo, pakafa amai vake Libby mukati megore rimwe chete, Max akatiza pamba uye akanorara husiku mupaki diki padhuze. Mumakore apfuura, Max akataura kuti hope dzake dzekuvaka Libby's Hotel pakona yeChrystie neDelancey Migwagwa yakauya kwaari husiku ihwohwo.
Mushure memakore ekuva nemaresitorendi akateedzana, imwe neimwe yainzi Libby's, Max akakwanisa kuwana nzvimbo pakona yake yaanofarira kwaakavaka hotera yakavhurwa musi waApril 5, 1926. Max sezviri pachena aive chizvarwa chekuzvarwa mushambadzi nekuti akaisa mari huwandu husingaenzanisike hwesimba nemari mushandirapamwe yakakura yekusimudzira mumapepanhau mazhinji ezuva nezuva echiYiddish. Pazuva rekuvhura, iyo New York Times akabatana nemamwe mapepa mukuzivisa kuvhurwa kukuru. Iyo Libby Hotera yaive neinoyevedza-nhurikidzwa mbiri yekukwevera ine rakapenya ruvara plaster siringi inotsigirwa nemafirita emarble mbiru. Ihotera iyi yaive nemakamuri emusangano, mabhawa uye maviri maresitorendi e kosher. Max akabata zviitiko zverudo uye makirasi ekushambira evana vemunharaunda.
Iyo Libby Hotel inotepfenyura kubva kune yekutanga Yiddish redhiyo, WFBH (kubva kumusoro kwewestside Hotel Majestic) iine vanozivikanwa vanovaraidza, yemitambo theatre nemwenje dzakadai saSol Hurok, Rube Goldberg naGeorge Jessel.

Kwemakore ayo maviri ekutanga, hotera yacho yaiita kunge ichibudirira zvikuru asi pakupera kwa1928, denga rakadonha mukati.
Kuteerera kwe mahotera matsva anga avhurwa muNew York. Vazhinji, kuti varambe vari solvent, vakatanga kupa maJuda, vachibvisa vatengi vaMax. Max angangodaro akagona zviri nani kukwikwidza kana mamiriro ake epamoyo anga asati atova mukudzikira kwakadzika; Gumiguru 20, 1926, mudzimai wake Sarah akafa. Mukutongwa kwakazotevera kwedare, Max aizopupura kuti kushungurudzika kwaakawana kwakamusiya asingakwanise kushanda.
Kupfuurirazve, waakakweretesa chaiye aive American Bond uye Mortgage Company (AMBAM), isingazivikanwe inodya chikwereti. Nguva pfupi isati yasvika yekuparara kwemusika wemasheya muna 1929, AMBAM yakafungidzira pahotera uye, mukushamisa kwekushamisa kwekupedzisira, Meya Jimmy Walker akagadza Joseph Force Crater, gweta rakabatana-neTammany semugamuchiri. Sekureva kweMutongi Crater, AMBAM inogona kunge yaive neruzivo rwemukati rweguta kuronga kuwedzera Chrystie Street. Chero zvazvingaitika, AMBAM ikozvino yakataura kuti hotera iyi yaive nemamirioni emadhora 3.2 (mushure mekukoshesa Libby's Hotel pamadhora miriyoni nemazana matatu emadhora ekuratidzira). Kuburikidza nedunhu rakakurumbira, New York City yakatora muridzi uye yakabhadhara AMBAM $ 1.3 mamirioni. Guta rakazoputsa zvivakwa mubhokisi kusanganisira Max Bernstein's Libby's Hotel neBaths.
Asi pane zvakawanda kunyaya. Muna 1931, AMBAM akabatwa nemhosva yechirongwa chakafanana maererano neMayflower Hotel muWashington, DC Mutongi Crater mumwe chete ndiye aigashira kubviswa kweMayflower. Akashaika mwedzi mina gare gare uye haasati awanikwa kubvira ipapo. Chrystie Street yakawedzeredzwa, iyo Great Depression yakaiswa mukati uye pakupedzisira, saiti ikashandurwa kuita Sara Delano Roosevelt Park naRobert Moses.
Pakafa Max Bernstein muna Zvita 13, 1946, iyo New York Times obituary yakanyora kuti: "Max Bernstein, 57, Aimbova Muridzi weHotera… Akavaka $ 3,000,000 Chivakwa muSlums, chete kuzoona Chirangaridzo kuna Amai Razed."

ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- Just prior to the 1929 stock market crash, AMBAM foreclosed on the hotel and, in a strange twist of fate, Mayor Jimmy Walker appointed Joseph Force Crater, a Tammany-connected lawyer as the receiver.
- The story of Libby's faded into obscurity until the summer of 2001, when a section of the pavement near the corner of Chrystie and Delancey Streets caved in, creating a sinkhole.
- After years of owning a series of restaurants, each of them named Libby's, Max was able to acquire land on his favorite corner where he built the hotel that opened on April 5, 1926.
