Synopsis:
Admire an amazing apocalyptic pillar in a church, relax in secret gardens, view the New York version of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, visit a secret subway tunnel, watch the stars through a university telescope, track down a statue of Lenin, have your skirts billow up at the very same grating as Marilyn Monroe, gaze at a roomful of dirt, discover an oversized Venetian palazzo above a former stables, visit an island that was named a sovereign country by a guy in a rowboat in 2004, play scrabble on Scrabble Street signs in Queens, see a townhouse concealing a subway entrance, locate a plaque to an event that happened in another dimension, have your bicycle blessed in a church. Far from the crowds and usual clich?s, New York still reserves any number of hidden treasures for those who know how to wander off the beaten track. An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew New York well, or who would like to discover the hidden face of the city.
