Description
This is NOT your typical guide—this book will show you the quirkier side of Manhattan. See where the slave market was in Colonial Manhattan, learn who the streets were named after, visit the site of Studio 54, CGBGs, William S. Burroughs’ Bunker, and John Lennon’s Nutopia, see the locations you’ll recognize from The Godfather (1972), When Harry Met Sally (1989), The Devil Wears Prada (2006), and places where other famous movies were filmed, visit everything from tiny community gardens to skyscrapers beloved by billionaires . . .
Each walk covers lesser-known architectural, historical, and cultural highlights.
Five reasons to buy this book:
- a must for native New Yorkers who want to be informed about their city
- introduces movies that have become an important part of the history of NYC
- fits in your pocket so it’s easy to start walks anywhere and anytime
- filled with fascinating anecdotes told with a hint of NYC sarcasm and humor
- contains 12 walks that will make you feel much fitter and smarter when you finish!
