New York Offbeat Walks 2

Not Your Typical Guidebook. New York Offbeat Walks 2 takes you beyond the usual landmarks to uncover the quirky, hidden side of New York City. Walk in the footsteps of a young Frank Sinatra, who sang at a school to ease racial tensions, or visit the office once used by the German Nazi party. Discover the oldest African American Masonic lodge, the workplace of Leon Trotsky, and the college apartment of a student named Barack Obama. As you explore, you'll encounter locations immortalized in iconic films-- from where Harry and Sally bought their Christmas tree to the site of *Taxi Driver*'s bloody climax. Along the way, you'll uncover tales of anarchists and automats, poets and billionaires, immigrants and dreamers-- all woven into the city's vibrant history. Each walk reveals lesser-known architectural, historical, and cultural gems that offer a fresh perspective on the city we thought we knew.
