Author Hannah Frishberg is taking readers off the beaten path with her latest book, “ Secret New York : An Unusual Guide,” an updated edition of a well-loved exploration of the city’s lesser-known treasures.In a world novelty is a constant quest, Frishberg’s guide promises to unveil the hidden stories and unique experiences that define New York beyond the usual tourist itinerary.
Frishberg — a New York Post reporter who previously worked for Brownstoner, a sister publication of amNewYork Metro — said the project is not only about content but also a tactile delight. She takes pride in crafting a reading experience that integrates visual appeal with informative depth. “No shade, but some guidebooks offer only very periphery information about their entries,” she said. “Our book goes deep, and all our entries have a full page of information, facts, and history.”
“One of the new entries that I wrote for this version is about Staten Island’s Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art. It’s a really magical, peaceful place,” she said recalling her first visit as a teenager which followed a chaotic day that almost ended in a knife fight in a pet store parking lot. “It was such a serene reprieve from that chaos.”
