The Timeline History of New York City has very interesting content and the fold-out timeline is a clever style of presentation. Despite a few typos and a some awkward imperialist phrasing (crediting Henry Hudson with "discovering" Hudson's Bay, for example), the book is well worth a read for a quick overview of NYC history.
