Some are small museums, some are historic places long forgotten, some are stores that sell only odd things, and some are distinguished for their claim to fame as the world's smallest\/largest whatever. All of them are notable for the passion with which their proprietors and curators care for them, and all of them can be visited via the subway system as Suzanne Reisman directs you to which of the city's 486 subway stations will get you closest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese attractions are the types of placed and things that not only fit perfectly with the New Yorker's psyche and ego but also satisfy a tourist's desire to see the unusual. For example, the Big Apple is home to the world's Doric column, the world's largest armory, the world's largest cathedral, and the world's largest Reform synagogue. The city also has a troll museum, a numismatic museum, a skyscraper museum, doll and toy museums, and a museum of comic and cartoon art. In many cases, half the fun of visiting these [;aced is getting to meet the people behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganized geographically to help you to explore the culture and diversity of the city's great neighborhoods, \u003cem\u003eOff the Beaten (Subway) Track\u003c\/em\u003e offers venues in Manhattan (Lower, Middle, and Upper), Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.
