Museum of the City of New York,1220 Fifth Ave.

We’re usually too busy barreling through NYC’s streets to really notice their quirks and treasures. But sociologist William Helmreich wanted a closer look – so he spent four years walking almost every street of all five boroughs, an experience he’s written about in his book, “The New York Nobody Knows.” On July 15, as part of the My City Book Club, Helmreich is visiting the Museum of the City of New York for a discussion with journalist Ariel Kaminer about what he found along his 6,000-mile journey.
