The Worst-Case Scenario Pocket Guide: New York City

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

David Borgenicht would like to thank Sarah O’Brien, Jay Schaefer, Steve Mockus, Brianna Smith, Jenny Kraemer, and Brenda Brown for making this book happen—he’ll meet you on the top of the Empire State Building at midnight on Christmas Eve.

Ben H. Winters is deeply grateful to Sarah O’Brien, David Borgenicht, and everyone at Quirk and Chronicle for welcoming him into the delightful Worst-Case universe. He’d also like to thank all the experts for their input, as well as all his friends, friends-of-friends, and total strangers who replied to his weird and random “does anyone know…” e-mails. Finally, a word of advice: If you call the Metropolitan Transportation Authority many times, with a lot of really specific questions, people start to get a little suspicious.
