Join us for our December Oculus Book Talk, featuring two new guide books: The Manhattan Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide by William B. Helmreich, and Mid-Century Modern Architecture Travel Guide: East Coast USA by Sam Lubell.

Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City—six-thousand miles in all—to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Now he has re-walked most of Manhattan—721 miles—to write The Manhattan Nobody Knows. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journey, this new walking guide captures the unique magic of the island and highlights hundreds of facts, places, and points of interest in every one of Manhattan’s thirty-one distinct neighborhoods, from Marble Hill to the Financial District.

Mid-Century Modern Architecture Travel Guide is a handy guidebook highlighting the Mid-Century architectural wonders of the East Coast, one of the most fertile and lesser-known regions for the development of this architectural style. It includes 250 must-see Modernist destinations up and down the east coast—from the Canadian border to the southern tip of Florida—all packed in one pocket-sized compendium.

Speakers:
William B. Helmreich, author, The Manhattan Nobody Knows: An Urban Walking Guide
Sam Lubell, author, Mid-Century Modern Architecture Travel Guide: East Coast USA
