Description

The Little Black Book series is designed the enlighten and entertain.

Whether you're a native New Yorker or going for a visit, there is still plenty to learn about the city. From how to read a subway map, to what's on the Museum Mile.

New York City is the greatest city in the world. Millions live there and many more visit. We all know about the Statue of Liberty and the Empire States Building and the tragedy of the first World Trade Center.

Why does midtown and southern Manhattan have clusters of skyscrapers?
What borough held the peace conference on 11 September 1776 that might have ended the Revolution?
Where did the first Europeans settle in the city?
How could New York City have been named San Antonio or New Paris?
How did "Wall Street" get its name?
Where was the largest battle of the Revolution fought?
What is the history of slavery in New York City, as it once held the greatest number of slaves, second only to Charleston, SC?
How did Son of Sam give rise to tabloid journalism in a newspaper Alexander Hamilton founded?
What lies under the city in over 10,000 miles of tunnels?

These are just a few of the bite-sized morsels served up in this book about the city which makes it so special. I'm sure many native New Yorkers know some of them, but doubtful they know all.

So read on and enjoy!
