New York New York - a crazy quilt of evolving neighborhoods trends and tastes and home to
natives and newcomers of every nationality ethnicity and outlook. New York City's history and
grand ambitions live in every street park and hidden alleyway. This unusual guidebook invites
the adventurous and curious to explore a wildly diverse selection of little-known places
including: a trapeze school a giant Buddha in a former porno theater a Coney Island sideshow
Louis Armstrong's home a Central Park croquet court a Gatsby-era speakeasy and a secret
balcony where slaves worshipped 200 years ago. Play chess with the masters on a Midtown
office-tower wall have a pint at a legendary prizefighter's hangout in Soho whisper messages
across a crowded train station.
