From the Back Cover

Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Big Apple has to offer! Whether you’re a born-and-raised New Yorker, a recent transplant, or just passing through, New York City Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Lisa Montanarelli takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Big Apple.
Take a stroll through a former landfill that was once the largest man-made structure on Earth, with trash piled higher than the Statue of Liberty.
Chow down at the Jekyll and Hyde Club along with robotic werewolves, mad scientists, and bartenders returned from the dead.
Visit a supply store for superheroes with X-ray glasses, Wonder Woman–style Deflector Bracelets, and Evil Blob Containment Capsules. Hop aboard with hip-hop celebrities who give bus tours of hip-hop landmarks.
