Is the word stratospheronaut the combination of "stratosphere + astronaut" referring to the so-called astronaut who flies in stratosphere? I am not sure.
Plus, "by way of Delancey Street" seems to mean "according to the standard of Delancey Street".

Nancy and Neil, in the meantime, will indeed bother, arm themselves t the teeth with guidelines and maps and travelogues of those who forged the paths before them, critiquing eath other constantly (as they do whenever they show up at my desk) about what routing and accomodations and dinning will prove most compelling, take them further and farther, these two Dix Hills stratospheronauts by way of Delancey Street. They're plucky and sharp and understand at this most bemusing time in their lives that above all else they crave action, they need the chase as the thing...
