How much do you actually know about New York City? Did you know
they tried to anchor Zeppelins at the top of the Empire State
Building? Or that the high-rent district of Park Avenue was once so
dangerous it was called "Death Avenue"? Lively and comprehensive,
"Inside the Apple" brings to life New York's fascinating past.
This narrative history of New York City is the first to offer
practical walking tour know-how. Fast-paced but thorough, its
bite-size chapters each focus on an event, person, or place of
historical significance. Rich in anecdotes and illustrations, it
whisks readers from colonial New Amsterdam through Manhattan's
past, right up to post-9/11 New York. The book also works as a
historical walking-tour guide, with 14 self-guided tours, maps, and
step-by-step directions. Easy to carry with you as you explore the
city, "Inside the Apple" allows you to visit the site of every
story it tells. This energetic, wide-ranging, and often humorous
book covers New York's most important historical moments, but is
always anchored in the city of today.
