New York’s Unique & Unexpected Places

Description

New York’s Unique & Unexpected Places is written for urban ramblers who want to explore fascinating, but less familiar sites in the city. Discover—and sometimes rediscover—secluded gardens, idiosyncratic museums, little shops here and there, and the occasional well-known place with distinctive treasures. This guidebook aims to coax readers to venture beyond New York’s major attractions and become acquainted with some of the city’s more uncommon corners. The 50 destinations included could easily have been hundreds, and it’s hoped that readers will create their own lists of favorites (and describe these in the blank page at the end of the book). More than 47 million visitors come to New York each year, mingling with the city’s eight million residents, yet the possibilities of finding unique and unexpected places are endless in this incomparable, astonishing city.
