Literary New York, Exploring the Literary Capitol of the United States
More authors, poets, and illustrators have lived or worked in New York than all of the rest of the states combined. Many of its literary sites have been mapped out by the Library of Congress and other institutions. Check this website for an excellent literary map (not all places listed on it are open to the public): http://www.nyslittree.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/content.display/page/aboutthemaps.cfm.
