I visited Manhattan about 25 years ago when I was a pre-teen with my mom and my aunt. We did some shopping and my aunt bought these $500 sunglasses at Macy's. We took a cab to check out battery park and have lunch at the twin towers. My aunt left her glasses at the restaurant. Now my mom and I like to walk alot so we were atleast 6 blocks deep before she realized it. She threw a fit, we ditched her and walked all the way back to our hotel at the Waldorf.
Long story short, I learned alot about my mom and aunt that day. And my aunt is a fucking idiot with no sense of adventure or responsibility. I had a few interactions with her after that and before my grandmother died. All were bad. And now, whenever I think about the twin towers, I think about those fucking stupid sunglasses and how there were the beginning of the end on my mother's relationship with her sister.
Where were you and @OP when I went to NYC last year and again 3yrs ago and .. Well, every time I go to NYC!? I’m saving this in my favorites to forget about next time I go to NYC.
When I first moved to nyc 12 years ago, I lived at the bottom of this map, in battery park. After to years, I was at a homeless shelter in Hell’s Kitchen. The center of that map! After getting back on my feet, I’m in Spanish Harlem. At the top of the map. Whole time, I worked in Brooklyn. Not on that map. I love this city.
How many of these have their own song? I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie, To the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie, To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Guardians covering the galaxy, Avengers got Earth, Captain America has the country, Spidey is Brooklyn mostly, and then there's Daredevil micromanaging the shit out of these 8 blocks in Manhatten
I believe only 3 of the original 5 remain. It was famous in the 1800s as the center of the slums, now it's a park and the federal immigration building. Things change...
Soho = South of Houston (pronounce it like How's Ton, not like the city in Texas). Tribeca = Triangle Below Canal Street. Nolita = North of Little Italy. Noho = you guessed it, North of Houston. Bonus: Dumbo = Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass

I lived in Morningside Heights for a year. Rough around the edges but the people were fantastic!
Profozpin
It's great how that was condensed in GTA IV
AnonOmis1000
Little Italy and Chinatown overlap?
Spiked
Yes because Chinatown is growing as little Italy shrinks so there're areas where both kinds of businesses are located

Oh neat

Holy shit I was just referencing this map for research and here it is front page. Don’t know why it blew my mind to see it here 🙃

Down on Bowery they lose their
Ball-eyes and their lip-mouths in the night
And stumbling through the streets they say "Sir, do you got a light?"

All of that is not Harlem though

I can't see the Combat Zone where Billy Joel walked through Bedford Stuy alone.

Hell's Kitchen is smaller than I thought, there's probably like 1 superhero for every 3 people.
Plinkypoops
Or at least one Superhero for every three serial killers.

I don't fully understand this because I know nothing about nyc but isnt each of the little blocks an actual block. thats a pretty big space tbh.
HeraldOfTheBadger
It's like 8 x 4 blocks I think

Relax, Spider-man has the rest covered.

Why does Five Points only have four?

I believe only 3 of the original 5 remain. It was famous in the 1800s as the center of the slums, now it's a park and the federal immigration building. Things change...

I’ll give the settlers the benefit of the doubt, and say four at best ;)
