How much do you actually know about New York City? Did you know they tried to anchor Zeppelins at the top of the Empire State Building? Or that the high-rent district of Park Avenue was once so dangerous it was called "Death Avenue"? Lively and comprehensive, Inside the Apple brings to life New York's fascinating past.
This narrative history of New York City is the first to offer practical walking tour know-how. Fast-paced but thorough, its bite-size chapters each focus on an event, person, or place of historical significance. Rich in anecdotes and illustrations, it whisks readers from colonial New Amsterdam through Manhattan's past, right up to post-9/11 New York. The book also works as a historical walking-tour guide, with 14 self-guided tours, maps, and step-by-step directions. Easy to carry with you as you explore the city, Inside the Apple allows you to visit the site of every story it tells. This energetic, wide-ranging, and often humorous book covers New York's most important historical moments, but is always anchored in the city of today.

reviewed Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City on March 07, 2009 Inside the Apple
I'm a third generation New Yorker, so I thought I knew the City pretty well. But this book is filled with bits of history that were completely new to me. I took one of the self-guided walking tours (Tour 11, The Upper West Side), and learned about buildings and places that I had passed a thousand times but had never noticed before. I'm looking forward to trying out the other dozen or so tours, especially now that the weather is getting warmer.
