City to bear her ‘secrets'

Some of the &#8220secrets” that make New York such an interesting city will soon be revealed to public television viewers in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dallas-Fort Worth, Washington, D.C. and Houston.
Four episodes from the NYC TV series &#8220Secrets of New York” will be aired on PBS stations this fall, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg said will help boost the city's tourism.
&#8220PBS has a reputation for excellence, and I'm proud to announce that ‘Secrets of New York' will become NYC TV's first foray into programming for a national audience,” Bloomberg said. &#8220With over 90 percent of the U.S. television households able to watch ‘Secrets of New York,' potential tourists from the City of Angels and the City of Brotherly Love will be further exposed to the vitality and history - and inside secrets - of the Big Apple.”
The first of the four episodes to be aired is &#8220Deep New York: How Low Can You Go in the Big Apple?” It will highlight &#8220underground treasures across the city,” including abandoned subway stations and City Water Tunnel No. 3.
&#8220Ancient New York: 400 Years and Counting” will give a peek into some of the oldest parts of New York, such as the High Bridge in upper Manhattan and Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
In &#8220Secrets in the Sky: Towers of Gotham,” viewers will hear about the gargoyles on top of the New York Life Building and why the Woolworth Building has two 26th floors.
The final episode to air in the other major cities will be &#8220Jails of New York: Secrets Unlocked.” Some of the featured jails will be Castle Williams and North Brother Island.
