This collection includes not only illustrations of -and fun facts about -famous superlatives, such as the Brooklyn Bridge (the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world), but also lesser-known ones, such as the gold stockpile controlled by the city's Federal Reserve bank (the world's biggest), the Staten Island Cricket Club (the oldest in the U.S.), and SoHo's collection of cast-iron buildings (the most in the world).

 If you love the Big Apple (or need a unique gift for someone who's a fan), please consider Superlative City.
