Hidden Cities by Moses Gates

HIDDEN CITIES (video courtesy of http://mosesgates.com/ and https://twitter.com/MosesNYC) Veteran travelers long to find off-the-beaten-path destinations, but few realize that you needn't venture to the far corners of the Earth to experience sites that are unique, overlooked, hidden. As urban planner and globetrotter Moses Gates knows, those with an adventurous spirit can find them even in the midst of some of the most well-traveled tourist cities. In his compelling and insightful new book, HIDDEN CITIES: Travels to the Secret Corners of the World's Great Metropolises; A Memoir of Urban Exploration (Tarcher/Penguin paperback; on-sale March 21), Gates lets readers join him on his travels and reveals the wonders—some off limits and some accessible to those willing to put in a little effort—that you won't find in a typical guidebook.
