Yet I don’t know it all when it comes to Manhattan. Researching this book helped me to learn so much more about this amazing island. I am humbled by how much one can do and learn here and still never fully grasp its deep importance. Manhattan has changed vastly over the years, even during my lifetime. But there are many trends that resonate, many themes that are constantly being reworked, and many places that people go to time and again. I hope this book will introduce you to places both well known and obscure. I implore you to do more reading and traveling of your own.
This book is intended for many people: newcomers who want to see the main attractions and old-timers who want a fresh look, repeat visitors who want to see something they missed previously, people who will be here for a limited time working or attending school, and anyone else who has a sense of wonderment and a thirst for adventure.
