‘Hidden Waters of New York’ explores Brooklyn, from Newtown Creek to Coney Island
Brooklyn BookBeat
The major waterways of New York City, New York Harbor and the Hudson River, are known throughout the world. But the city is home to many lesser-known lakes, streams, bays, ponds and tributaries.
Sergey Kadinsky, a staffer for the city Parks Department and an adjunct professor of history at Touro College, pays tribute to them all in his book “Hidden Waters of New York City” (The Countryman Press, division of W.W. Norton & Co.). Many of the waterways he mentions are in Brooklyn, and the borough merits an entire section in his book.
