Cult Locations

In New York you will definitely visit the Empire State Building and enjoy the view of this mega-city from the observation deck. And you would be in good company: King Kong, the most famous gorilla in film history, has also been atop. Or you go and visit “Katz’s Delicatessen” on the Lower East Side. It doesn’t ring a bell? It should! It’s the restaurant where Harry and Sally had their famous date and at which Meg Ryan, the leading actress, was reaching a real ‘climax’ of her acting career. These are just two examples of cult locations that have become famous because of their history, religious significance or mystic interest; because of movies or music; because of their particular natural features or architectural interest or just because they were the venue of special events. This book will take you on a trip around the globe and show you different places full of surprises, myths and legends, all telling their own stories, on every continent. Places that are unique in their own way and therefore have earned the status of being a cult location.
