Breakfast at Tiffany's is a novella by Truman Capote published in 1958 and sold to Harper's Bazaar for $2,000. In 2013 Truman Capote’s typed manuscript with the author’s handwritten edits has sold in 2013 for about $306,000 at auction to a Russian billionaire Igor Sosin. Capote’s handwritten notations include changing the femme fatale’s name from Connie Gustafson to the now-iconic Holly Golightly.

The world-renowned Tiffany & Co. store at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street opened its doors for business on October 21, 1940. In the opening scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie, a New York City yellow cab drives down a quiet Fifth Avenue and drops Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) off near the corner of 57th Street. The formally dressed Golightly stares through her iconic sunglasses into the Tiffany & Co. window as she consumes her morning pastry and coffee.

Prices are really high. For breakfast, you can enjoy coffee and croissant for $29. GrubStreet wrote: It only took 56 years, but Tiffany & Co. finally realized it could exploit a certain movie scene involving its Fifth Avenue flagship store and food. If you’re claustrophobic, this might be your get-out-of-jail-free card. Tiffany did almost the whole café — walls, plates, banquettes, even salt shakers — in the trademarked robin’s-egg blue. Vogue the point was to give it “the feeling of being inside a Blue Box.” Tiffany seems to have forgotten the one thing Holly Golightly made clear is that nobody could ever put her inside a box.
