For example: you are looking to get from Brooklyn Bridge Park to Jazz at Lincoln Center, searching for exits with elevators on the HighLine, visiting family in Park Slope, maneuvering the shifting grid of the West Village, shopping at Fulton Mall, taking the ferry from Red Hook to Astoria, trekking to the Studio Museum in Harlem, looking for an uptown exit from the FDR Drive or just wanting to understand how the subway connects with ferries along the East River. This map makes it easy and you an instant New Yorker. Stephan Van Dam, the map designer and publisher has been Manhattan-based for 40 years and knows NYC inside out.
STREETSMART NYC FIVE BORO shows all of Manhattan up to 127 St plus a large regional detail of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, Northern New Jersey and Westchester Counties. All highways exits and regional train lines and airports are clearly marked. On the Manhattan map subway stops are shown in context by their respective line right on the main map as well as on a separate subway overview so you understand both the local details and the larger system. Locals refer to Manhattan, the most densely populated of the five boroughs, as New York City or just The City. The other four boroughs the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are collectively known as The City of New York.

Each sleek and laminated city map package opens to 24 x 9 and then easily folds down to 4 x 9 to snuggly fit into a shirt pocket or purse. Gain instant NYC STREETSMARTS and a sexy souvenir to boot!
