Living up to its title, this is definitely a book of some of the most offbeat things you can see and do in New York. My personal favorites include the Garbage Plate and Chittenango, the alleged Oz of the Wizard of Oz. Can't wait to hit all of these sights! I'm feeling a road trip coming on!

I liked the places and people listed in this book. The author's attempt at being cute and funny, not so much.
