That's where this portable, illustrated guide comes in. Local experts save readers time and trouble by pointing them to the city's best bets from the little-known Little Italy trattoria to that ultra-hip Soho wine bar or the cheap-but-scrumptious ethnic cuisine of the Lower East Side. Off the Beaten (Subway) Track: New York City's Best Unusual Attractions Amazon.com USA - Canada - France - UK Focuses on the hundreds of off-the-beaten-path destinations in the city. Some are small museums, others are historic places long forgotten, some are stores that sell only odd things, and some are distinguished for their claim to fame as the world's largest/smallest whatever. All of them are notable for the passion with which their proprietors and curators care for them, and all can be visited via the subway system as the author directs readers to which of the city's 486 subway stations will get them closest.
