Welcome to the Outernet, Pinball Publishing’s second outdoor internet experience to hit the streets of Manhattan.

This isn’t a walking tour. It’s an experimental, immersive bibliography with references from over 300 books, maps, and other sources specific to 1012 individual locations. You can start anywhere in the West Village and walk in any direction at your own pace: on every street, on every avenue, and at every corner, you’ll hear a list of references, many of them from New York’s most distinguished chroniclers and authoritative record keepers. When you arrive at a new location, you’ll receive a report on the age of all visible structures as well as a list of publications that have spoken about that exact spot, along with the name of the author and year of publication.

Pinball Publishing has a growing database of these references for not just the West Village but all of Manhattan. We also buy and sell the publications that make up our database, so if you would like a quote on a particular text or the list of references for a specific address, please contact us at [email protected].
