Résumé
"There is no city like New York and no better tour guide to it than Keith Taillon! I'm a lifelong New Yorker but he has taught me things about each neighborhood and every block I never knew before. Keith brings the 'city that never sleeps' alive in a way no one else can." - Anderson CooperJoin Keith Taillon on twelve of his most popular walking tour routes, examining in depth the various neighbourhoods of Manhattan, their history, and the intricacies of their formation.
In Walking New York, Keith traces the evolution of the Big Apple back to some of its early seeds, focusing on the 19th and 20th centuries - a window in which New York City transformed from a small provincial port town into a global metropolis. He covers everything from the completion of the Erie Canal and Croton Aqueduct to some of the notorious characters behind the city's Gilded Age. Each chapter features a suggested walking route, with a detailed map and notes on the route's length and time.
Throughout each walk, readers are encouraged to pause and really take in the streetscape. Filled with interesting facts and timelines, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of why the city looks and feels the way it does. Perfect for tourists, New Yorkers and armchair travellers alike, you will see New York in a new way, learning to look up, look around, and appreciate this truly special place anew.
