Opis

Forgotten New York is your passport to more than 300 years of history, architecture, and memories hidden in plain sight.Houses dating to the first Dutch settlers on Staten Island; yellow brick roads in Brooklyn; clocks embedded in the sidewalk in Manhattan; bishop's crook lampposts in Queens; and a white elephant in the Bronx--this is New York and this is your guide to seeing it all. Forgotten New York covers all five boroughs with easy-to-use maps and suggested routes to hundreds of out-of-the way places, antiquated monuments, streets to nowhere, and buildings from a time lost. Forgotten New York features:

• Quiet Places
• Truly Forgotten
• History Happened Here
• What Is This Thing?
• Forgotten People
• And so much more
