of the city's limits? That Canal Street was built above a canal?
That the spire of the Empire State Building was originally used to
dock zeppelin planes? That under the Knickerbocker Hotel a private
railroad was built for John Jacob Astor and his guests? That the
FDR drive was built on landfill shipped from London after WWII? Or

antique postcards, and maps, sure to dazzle new and native New
Yorkers alike.
