Off the Beaten (Subway) Track: New York City's Best Unusual Attractions

From Strand Bookstore

The city's first guide to focus on one hundred unique, off-the-beaten-path destinations. Some are small museums, some are historic places long forgotten, some are stores that sell only odd things, and some are distinguished for their claim to fame as the world's largest/smallest whatever. All of them are notable for the passions with which their proprietors and curators care for them, and all of them can be visited via the subway system as Suzanne Reisman directs you to which of the city's 486 subway stations will get you closest! Organized geographically, this guide offers venues in all five boroughs. Indexx by Category. B&W illus. 240p.
