Manhattan's grid is amazing. About 30 years ago, my boyfriend and I were driving from Boston to a convention in NYC, held at a hotel near Madison Square Garden. We set off in the general direction of NY without a map, just following the signs. We figured that when we got closer to NYC, we'd stop and buy a map of the city. We ended up driving right into Manhattan from the highway, like, oh crap, there's nowhere to stop, we're in it now. We navigated right to the hotel using just the address. The street numbers were counting down to the street that our hotel was on, then we just found the cross street and we were there. I was astonished, as this is very much not possible to do in gridless Boston. We never did buy a map. We had our weekend at the convention and just drove out the same way we drove in. I loved it.
@Gorboduc Жыл бұрын
A helpful hint from a local: within the grid there are 20 streets to a mile. This means you can cover about a block per minute. An avenue block is the length of *three* street blocks, so it'll take you about three minutes per avenue. That means (for instance) a trip from the Flatiron Building at 23rd & 5th to Times Square at 42nd & 7th will take you: - 19 streets = 19 minutes - plus 2 avenues = 2x3 or 6 minutes So you'll be in Times Square in 25 minutes if you hike it. I used this all the time before map apps took all the adventure out of life. PS - why isn't it pronounced SowHow?

I've always referred to the area south of 14th as "Lower Manhattan" as a general name including the Financial District, East and West Villages, SoHo, Tribeca, etc. I call the Financial District "Downtown", and usually when I say Downtown, that's what I mean, but I also just use the word downtown when say I am going south, regardless of where I am above 14th street.

I have been to New York City numerous times and I can say I know my way around Manhattan. Yet, getting out of a subway station and walking in the opposite direction to where I'm going still happens to me. Don't get me wrong, getting lost in NYC can be a magical experience since you get to "find" gems along the way that otherwise you'll never get to know, but learning that even streets runs East would be a time-saver on my next visits. Thank you for a very informative video!

Just came across this...a KZbin recommendation. A few points: for orientation and navigation purposes, it's good for visitors to know that streets are pretty close to each other but avenues are pretty far apart. So, it someone tells you to walk from 28th to 29th Streets on 5th Ave, that will take you at the most a minute, but walking from 28th and 5th to 28th and 6th is a longer trek. I agree with other posters about your over-simplification of the neighborhoods. I realize you were just trying to not clutter the map, but everything north of Central Park is NOT Harlem, and there are tons of very unique and distinct neighborhoods below Midtown. It's not all just the financial district! It also would have been helpful to explain why Broadway doesn't follow the grid pattern (it was an original trail used by the indigenous population prior to the arrival of the Europeans).

Informative video but for those watching this before visiting nyc for the first time, there are a few inaccuracies that are worth pointing out: 1:30 - No one in their right mind refers to the entire area from Union Square down as the Financial District (FiDi). FiDi is essentially the southern tip of the island. If you're trying to go to union square or Houston street, etc. and ask for directions to the Financial District, you will be sent very far out of your way. Along that same vein, I would also argue that Midtown does not go nearly as far south as Union Square, but that's not as egregious. You can actually see this in the photo at 2:00. The tall buildings in the foreground are FiDi, and the tall buildings in the background are Midtown. That entire huge area of more low-lying buildings in the middle are almost entirely residential neighborhoods that are completely glossed over in this video. 2:24 - "The further uptown you get the more residential it becomes" statement isn't accurate. Yes, the neighborhoods uptown are mainly residential, but so is the massive area between Fidi and Midtown. In fact, many downtown neighborhoods are some of the most densely populated in the city. 3:03 - 4th Avenue is called Park Avenue for literally its entire length except for a small stretch between Union Square (14th Street) and Astor Place (8th Street), not because it's just in a particularly fancy part of town. 3:10 - Both Madison and Lexington Avenues span far longer than just the Upper East Side (UES). Both avenues pass through the entirety of Midtown and Harlem, as well as some downtown. 3:50 - The area circled is not all Alphabet City. Alphabet is only the upper half or so of the circled area. Lower East Side is the lower half of the circled area and is a distinct neighborhood. 4:20 - SoHo and NoHo are small neighborhoods that, yes, are located below and above Houston Street, respectively. But absolutely neither one covers the entire area below or above Houston. For example, nobody from New York would call the Lower East Side SoHo or the West Village NoHo. 4:58 - Yes, the two-way streets are exceptions to this rule, but there are also a few special case exceptions even with specifically 1-way streets. For example, both 60th and 61st streets on the east side flow West. 6:25 - Forgetting the pretty significant Union Square here on the intersection of Broadway and Park.

Took a roatrip to Boston the other day which took me via the NJ Turnpike crossing the GW Bridge into Harlem and eventually the Bronx. One of my favorite parts of the overall roadtrip. It's just the drivers that suck there.

They enter Manhattan in different neighborhoods. Brooklyn Bridge comes out at City Hall, Manhattan Bridge in the middle of Chinatown, and the Williamsburg Bridge right in the old Lower East Side at Delancey St.

@@BrightTripTravel That one won't be easy. Brooklyn is mostly a grid, except it's really like 19 different grids all mashed together lmao. I live on East 7th Street, and I'm like 6 blocks away from 35th street.
