Uncovering New York's Hidden History
New York City is a treasure trove of hidden history, and the lost places of leisure that once entertained its residents are no exception. From abandoned amusement parks to forgotten theaters, these places offer a tantalizing glimpse into the city's vibrant past.
In his new book, Excavating Manhattan: Lost Places of Leisure, photographer and historian James Nevius explores these forgotten spaces, capturing their haunting beauty and revealing their fascinating stories.

Nevius's photographs are both beautiful and haunting. They capture the decay and neglect that has taken hold of these once-thriving places, but they also hint at the vibrancy and energy that once filled them.
The text that accompanies Nevius's photographs provides a rich historical context for these lost places. He tells the stories of the people who built and operated them, the events that took place within their walls, and the reasons why they were eventually abandoned.
Together, the photographs and text in Excavating Manhattan offer a unique and unforgettable look at New York City's lost places of leisure. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves history, photography, or the city itself.
