Urban legends, unsolved murders, and historical oddities from the five boroughs . . .

Even many native New Yorkers don’t know all the secrets of their city. This book takes you on a tour, uptown, downtown, and below ground, with fascinating stories that range from a cross-dressing governor to a celebrity-filled cemetery.

Learn about the General Slocum steamboat disaster in 1904 that killed over a thousand people; the man who claimed to survive a jump off the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886; the persistent rumors of alligators in the sewers; and much more—in a treasury of tales as colorful as the city itself.
