For example: you are looking to hike from Little Italy through Chinatown to the Bowery, searching for elevator access on the High Line, meeting friends at the MET, maneuvering the shifting grid of the West Village, shopping the Meat Market, trekking to Hamilton Terrace in Harlem, looking for the uptown exit from the FDR Drive onto the Brooklyn Bridge 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's designer and publisher has been Manhattan-based for 40 years and knows NYC inside out.
