In December 1979, Bob Diamond was an engineering student at Pratt Institute when he heard a radio show about The Cosgrove Report by G.J.A O’Toole. The program discussed a section of the novel that involved the missing 18 pages of John Wilkes Booth’s diary hidden behind a false stone block in a metal box, next to an old steam train lying on its side in a tunnel that was supposedly underneath Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue. A Brooklyn native, Diamond was immediately intrigued. Diamond even called up the author and inquired about the tunnel. “O’Toole said he got the idea for the tunnel from a newspaper article he read when he was a kid about Murder Incorporated burying dead bodies down there. He told me to see if I could find it.” So Diamond did just that.

New York has a lot of hidden wonders and also a lot of unhidden ones. Doesn't matter what age you are, there will always be something that will catch your eye. First time i came to New York i experienced it as a tourist. Now, I live here with my family, If you're visiting with your children, there is always something happening around. Make sure you check out [feelday.com] that keeps updating you about local family and kid activities near new york and even seattle. Hope this helps
