From modest chapels to majestic cathedrals, and historic synagogues to modern mosques and Buddhist temples: this photo-filled, pocket-size guidebook presents 1,079 houses of worship in Manhattan and lays to rest the common perception that skyscrapers, bridges, and parks are the only defining moments in the architectural history of New York City. With his exhaustive research of the city's religious buildings, David W. Dunlap has revealed (and at times unearthed) an urban history that reinforces New York as a truly vibrant center of community and cultural diversity. Published in conjunction with a New-York Historical Society exhibition, From Abyssinian to Zion is a sometimes quirky, always intriguing journey of discovery for tourists as well as native New Yorkers.

David Dunlap was born in the United States.
Dunlap provides background on the seventeen-mile street’s many notable structures, such as the Woolworth Building, which features a Gothic tower, and the United Church-Science of Living Institute (formerly Loew’s 175th St. Theatre), which incorporates a melange of architectural styles, including, according to Dunlap, rococo and Byzantine elements.
On Broadway, Dunlap also speculates on the street’s continued existence and maintenance and advocates increased care for the historic route, which he characterizes as a link between America’s rural past and its chaotic, urban present. Broadway has been acknowledged as an important work on its subject.
David started his career as a clerk to James Reston in 1975, became a graphics editor in 1976, and then a reporter in 1981. Between 1994 and 1999, Dunlap covered gay, lesbian, and AIDS issues for The New York Times. Dunlap was sometimes criticized for covering the news from a politically left-leaning position.

1990Quotes from others about the person
John Tauranac, in a review for the New York Times, deemed Dunlap’s book “a major contribution to New York’s architectural history,” and he described it as an informational “gold mine.”
And Tony Hiss, writing in the New York Times Book Review, declared that Dunlap “commandingly unites his professional and personal passions” and proves himself Broadway’s “herald, its lexicographer, its guardian.” Hiss added that On Broadway constitutes “an arresting and authoritative ... history book.”
