Inside the last old-school seltzer shop in New York
A century ago, before it was called sparkling water or club soda, and before it was sold as LaCroix and Spindrift, it was called seltzer. No plastic bottles or aluminum cans magically appeared on grocery shelves. Instead, factories across New York City pumped fizzy water into heavy siphon bottles that were distributed by deliverymen. Nearly all those seltzer men are gone now; one seltzer works remains...
But he still wakes before 4 a.m. to serve his customers, partly to keep the seltzer man tradition going.
