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!
Tomorrow at noon, join Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer Justin Rivers as he walks you down one of the oldest streets on the resort island of Martha’s Vineyard. In the historic village of Edgartown you’ll take a quick walk through 400 years of history and learn about some unexpected connections Martha’s Vineyard has to New York. See a lighthouse that is absolutely identical to New York’s famed Little Red Lighthouse. Stoll down a stately row of Whaling Captain’s houses and learn how Martha’s Vineyard was a bigger whale hub than Nantucket right before the Civil War. Spot a big location in the 1975 blockbuster Jaws (and hear a few stories about the filming), visit the church where Frederick Douglas spoke to a sold out crowd, and spot a random front yard 17th century burial of Martha’s Vineyard’s founding governor.
