DESCRIPTION

Abandoned Industries of New York City is a journey through the decaying ruins of the city’s forgotten past.

Through clandestine photographs and in-depth research, Joseph Anastasio reveals the untold stories of New York City’s former industrial glory.

The stories behind each location serves as deep-cut prequels and offshoots to well-known news events, including the disappearance of one of NYC’s most infamous mobsters, the discovery of a secret 9/11 memorial prototype, and the origin story of the man who saved the US auto industry.

This untold history uncovers unexpected tales that have been paved over and lost through New York’s endless, unforgiving cycle of urban renewal and reinvention.

This book will appeal to anyone who loves a good adventure highlighted by the unexpected and unseen, as told by the foremost authority on all things abandoned in NYC.
