Hidden Waters of New York City (A History and Guide to 101 Forgotten Lakes, Ponds, Creeks, and Streams in the Five Boroughs)

Beneath the asphalt streets of Manhattan, creeks and streams once flowed freely. The remnants of these once-pristine waterways are all over the Big Apple, hidden in plain sight. Hidden Waters of New York City offers a glimpse at the big city’s forgotten past and ever-changing present, including:

• Minetta Brook, which ran through today's Greenwich Village
• Collect Pond in the Financial District, the city's first water source
• Newtown Creek, separating Brooklyn and Queens
• Bronx River, still a hotspot for urban canoeing and hiking

Filled with eye-opening historical anecdotes and walking tours of all five boroughs, this is a side of New York City you’ve never seen.
