Inside The Apple

Beloved tour guides Michelle and James Nevius weave New York City's most compelling stories into a lively, comprehensive narrative history, from the founding of New Amsterdam right up through the events of 9/11. Thanks to 14 detailed, self-guided walking tours at the back of the book and the portable format, it can also be used as a historical guidebook---and the site of every story in it can be visited. With its history-from-the-vantage-of-the-street approach and its unique, multi-purpose structure, there's nothing on the market like it.
