  
 This deck of cards tests your knowledge of both the events and places that have made New York one of the most intriguing cities on earth. One side of each card features a detail of a New York City map, pinpointing a particular address and date; the other side gives you an informed, witty account of What Happened There. For example, you may know your way around Union Square, but do you know what milestone in labor history it witnessed on September 5, 1882? Rock 'n' roll fans may recognize the address 1 West 72nd Street only because of the tragedy that transpired there on December 8, 1980. These and other memorable dates and locations--relating to sports, arts and music, politics, economics, and social history--are profiled in this entertaining and educational tour of New York City. By Alan Bisbort.
