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.

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?

New Yorker here! This is a really helpful and concise video for those who don’t know the city. The one thing I would point out is that you referred to everything south of midtown at one point as the financial district, which I think could be a bit misleading as it is only the bottom tip of the island. Otherwise great video

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!

​@@timafiggy thank you! I stay in Central Harlem, close to Lennox Ave., so the No. 3 is my usual mean of transportation, quite convenient being an express train and running on 7th ave., I might add. Although, if I'm heading East, to the museums or any of the parks or shops on 5th Ave., I would frequently use one of the the buses lines that runs on 5th, since I enjoy the sightseeing opportunity, provided it is before noon, otherwise it will take forever to get anywhere.

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.

the trick about orienting yourself out of the subway is much more useful when thinking about the avenues because of exactly what you said - the main streets that the subway stops stop at are two-way, like 23rd, 34th, 42nd, etc. Even avenues go north and odds go south - much more helpful when orienting yourself than 2-way streets!

It's funny that Broadway in this video is "the little exception I have to mention at the end" - when in reality it's literally the oldest of all the roads they talk about :D It follows the path of the old trail native americans carved into the manhattan brush, later made wider by the dutch (which is where it gets it's name from: when the british took over New Amsterdam, they saw the unusually wide path through the brush and called it: "the broad way")

@@MichaelfromtheGraves Interesting. I saw the Broadway story in a documentary. I'd like to see a link to what you are saying. I also like the legend that the Pennsylvania turnpike follows the original path that Daniel Boone took when exploring Pennsylvania.

This was great. I am a geography and map nerd and this kind of thing fascinates me. I've been to NYC a few times and absolutely love how well organized the grid is and have always found the subway very easy to navigate. You are very right though, about not trying to use a subway map to guide you above ground. It's similarly easy to get around above ground, but in a slightly different way, which may sound strange but I'm sure you know what I mean :)

The financial District does not go all the way up to midtown!! Also, Harlem is not everything above the park. Also, the Lower East Side does not perfectly overlap with Alphabet City. The Lower East Side goes well past Houston St.

See what you started! Agree with most of the comments. For people not to argue about smaller areas, Harlem takes up the North of Central Park, between the two Upper Sides, to about 155th st. At this point, saying even "the Heights", people will get the idea you're up in Duke Ellington land.😀

Hey, Keema😀. Interesting you think the "Heights" start at 149th? I thought it was more 168th(Washington Hts.), but then Morningside Heights starts at 145, overlooking the Polo Grounds, so if that's the "Heights", okay.
