Product Description:
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

This book is not for the out-of-towner planning a weekend, or even a week-long trip. New York is too big, and there are so many 'mandatory' things you should see. But this is definitely a book that should turn many a New Yorker into a weekend tourist.

I found out about this book through the author's extensive website. I'm not even from New York and I found it to be really interesting, and I'd definitely take the book with me if I were ever to visit town. Of course, this is just a sampling of what this author is capable of - the website is amazing, and in many ways I hope that some of the material from the site could make a commpanion volume. Great work from everyone involved.

Every large city has its famous landmarks & signature structures which define it in the eyes of the world. For New York, the statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, Times Square and, after 9/11, the absence of the World Trade Towers. These are the sights that travellers and tourists want to see, and having seen them, think that they have "done" New York.
But they have surely missed the best part.
The real New York, the soul and spirit and humanity of old New York is not so obvious, ... Read More

Although I live in a small town in Nevada, my daughterlives in New York City. She's an actress, and if you want to act on stage you almost have to live in New York.
We were in a book store and found this book. In flipping it over I found a really neat looking German style beet garden. I asked her where it was, and it was just around the corner, down a few blocks from her apartment. In looking at the book we found all kinds of neat places to go visit, far more than the conventional guide books.
