A New Yorker who is not curious? Rare, indeed. New Yorkers are among the most curious people on the planet. Just ask the staff of the popular "F.Y.I." column in The New York Times. They receive more than a thousand questions each year, asking everything from how Manhattan clam chowder was named to why there are so few rainbows in New York City. Here are 329 of the most intriguing questions and amusing answers about the Big Apple's history, landscape, subways, architecture, laws, and personalities. Each chapter of The Curious New Yorker offers solutions to some of the city's most confounding enigmas: "Myths and Mysteries" answers this puzzler: On The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, who is the woman walking arm in arm with the singer, and what Greenwich Village street are they ambling down (page 45)? "What's in a Name?" explains why Sixth Avenue was renamed Avenue of the Americas (p. 8), and why so many streets in Brooklyn are named after fruits (p. 40). "Tell It to the Judge" enlightens readers about the small print in New York's laws. Readers will learn if sitting on an apartment building stoop is trespassing (p. 241). "New York Gazetteer" includes the elusive formula for determining what the nearest cross street is to a numbered address on an avenue. This is a useful book, packed with hard-to-find facts and lighthearted humor. "F.Y.I." appears every Sunday in the City section of The New York Times.

The Cold War, Sputnik, Joseph McCarthy, Fidel Castro, the Rosenbergs, Marilyn Monroe, Rosa Parks, Father Knows Best and Rebel Without a Cause are just a few of the events, people, and cultural phenomena that marked the decade of the 1950s. This stunning book, a collection of two hundred large-scale duotone photographs of the 1950s culled from the New York Times photo archives, brings this watershed period to life and examines who and what was important and why. The photographs, which include both famous and lesser-known images, are arranged thematically, under the headings 'America in the World War Hot and Cold', 'Mechanization in Command', 'Fame and Infamy', 'Growing Up American', and 'American Ways of Life'. The pictures are accompanied by two major essays that look at the role and development of news photography at the New York Times and the relevance of what pictures were taken and which were published by the paper. A third, shorter essay on "the morgue" is a lively description of the photo archive, telling where and how the photos are stored. Together the photographs and essays shed new light on a decade that is still shadowed by misconceptions and stereotypes. This book accompanies an exhibition that opens at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in January 2002 and travels to nine American cities from New York to Boulder over the next three years.
