"The Thin Man" self-guided walking tour

[skyvue]

This is based largely on the Hammett novel, which includes more references to specifics places in NYC than does the movie, but it's worth checking out, I think, for everyone who lives in -- or hopes to visit -- NYC.

Nice link; thanks for posting! I got a kick out of reading those quotes from the movies!

Fantastic link--thanks! They don't mention the now defunct Child's restaurants but they were mentioned in the book, too. It would be great to have a similar walking tour in SF for the Maltese Falcon--everything in that book takes place very close together.

Great link!

Nick: I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune.

Nora: I read where you were shot five times in the tabloids.

Nick: It's not true. He didn't come anywhere near my tabloids.

There used to be a guy who led a MF walking tour a couple of times a month, and I think he had a guide book, too.

I made a calender of the events in The Thin Man but never thought of a map.
I did make a map of The Maltese Falcon sites so now I have Hammett tours for West Coast and East Coast. Thanks.:eusa_clap

Sincerely,

Here's the guy I was thinking of who leads Hammett tours of San Francisco. Looks like he's still at it:
