Experience a New York City most tourists, and even most natives, never see. Within the city's boundaries are dozens of islands - some famous, like Ellis, some infamous, like Rikers, and others forgotten, like North Brother. While the spotlight often falls on the museums trends, and restaurants of Manhattan, the city's "other" islands, each with its own personality, offer the day-tripper everything from nature trails to military garrisons to sailing excursions. This detailed guide to and comprehensive history of 40 islands tells their coluorful, often lurid stories, providing a sense of how New York City's politics, population and landscape have evolved over the last three-and-a-half centuries. This updated second edition features new information on Governor's and Ellis Islands and is full of off-beat stories and little-known facts and legends.
