How to Make a Subway Map with John Tauranac
Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
If you missed our virtual Secret Brooklyn book talk last month, you can join in on another installment with Atlas Obscura tomorrow at noon! Author Michelle Young, founder of Untapped New York, will reveal her top ten (or more!) favorite locations in the book and share her favorite outdoor locations she and co-author Augustin Pasquet recommend discovering from the book Secret Brooklyn which features nearly 150 of the borough’s strangest, most unique, and hidden places.
While we’re mostly confined inside, you can keep your explorer spirit alive by finding the obscure outdoor locations far from the madding crowds, like tracking the footprints of a Revolutionary War-era mill in Marine Park, looking for the wild parrots of Brooklyn, locating a sunken yellow submarine, or hiking on the former Ridgewood Reservoir. You can also get an autographed copy of this book with a dedication of your choice! Use code STAYHOME for free shipping! Get tickets for tomorrow’s event here!
