Colophon and Credits
This site was founded in 1995. It was the only shopper/tourist web site in New York showcasing a one-neighborhood shopping area, the Silk Shopping District. As such, it remains the oldest internet site of it's kind. The brainchild of Alexander S. Kabbaz & Bruce Logan, MadisonAvenueNYC.com began in cooperation with the now-defunct Madison Avenue Merchants' Association. The Association assisted in obtaining the site's initial funding with the understanding that, as time went by, responsibility for ongoing support of the site would devolve upon the merchants themselves in proportion to the benefit each wished to receive from the site's operation. Initial management, design and construction were done by Kabbaz's AskAd Agency, Inc. These functions were succeeded by Artists' Woods Internet Management division three years later.
