Walking New York by Keith Taillon
Twelve walks through Manhattan with the tour guide Anderson Cooper says taught him things about his own blocks.
Taillon built a following leading history walks neighborhood by neighborhood, and this is twelve of his most requested routes on paper: where to start, what to look up at, and how a provincial port became a metropolis over the 19th and 20th centuries, told building by building.
For the friend who just moved here, the one who's lived here forty years, and the houseguest you'd like to get out of the apartment for an afternoon.
