New York is one of the world biggest metropolises. It is also one of the weirdest. That probably comes as no surprise to anybody. But wait until you get your hands on "Weird New York", and read about Long Island's Big Duck, Moan and Groan Road in, of all places, a town called Hope, and the Jell-O Museum in Le Roy. This is a great alternative travel guide to New York - both City and State - to find out what the other books won't tell you, like what to do in Spook Rock Road, how to find the world's largest pet cemetery, or what to do if you bump into the Lady of Lake Ronkonkoma. This is your chance to find out why New York is the city that never sleeps...

New York IS Weird,

This review is from: Weird New York: Your Travel Guide to New York's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets (Hardcover)
Great fun for residents, former residents, and transplants alike. It gives a good "overview" of this great state. Unfortunately, it focuses more on one locale than all of them. Long Islanders should be in their glory because much of the "weirdness" takes place in their area of the state. I wish some of the stories could have been trimmed to include more of a variety. There's a treasure trove of incidents from Upstate New York, particularly in the Herkimer-Utica area, that would have been interesting to read about. Perhaps a sequel is in order?

Big, HUGE Fun!!,

This review is from: Weird New York: Your Travel Guide to New York's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets (Hardcover)
I picked this up because I recognized the photo on the front. That's the "waitress lady" I've passed for more than 40 years in a tiny town called Silver Creek NY. That's the glory of this book. Filled with wonderful color photos, you too will recognize the 'weird' of NY that you never realized was right under your nose. Did you notice the "Burger Family" in Glens Falls? Hear the creepy knock from the crypt on Rt 8? Just a great read. Since there are books for every state, they make wonderful gifts as well.

This should be titled Weird New York City...,

This review is from: Weird New York: Your Travel Guide to New York's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets (Hardcover)
This should be titled Weird New York City because it doesn't have much outside of that city, unlike other Weird series books which usually include state wide coverage. I have read others which are usually pretty good, this one is pretty bad, so thumbs down!
