This is a neat little laser project but what’s up with the Lower East Side label? If you’re looking to sell these, I would suggest just shrinking the font. If not, to each their own.

This is the most accurate map of NYC I’ve seen in a long time- thanks for including uptown (Washington Heights AND Inwood)!

Is /r/mapsmissingmarblehill a thing yet?

Absolutely sharp and gorgeous. Alternating the grain direction was key, plus using finer grain for the actual island. Well done in every way. (A Hood Maps would be a bit too busy...)

Crazy how you could limit yourself to everything below Gramercy and NYC would still be the best city in the nation

Manhattanville is a distinct neighborhood between MoHi and Harlem.. has been since before the revolutionary war.

And Harlem is absolutely three neighborhoods: West, Central, and East Harlem. You can’t just glomb central and west Harlem together.. do you even live here??

Do people in other cities hang maps of their city in the wall? This feels like such a tourist/reddit thing. Fucking corny.

HK is the term I use with my NYC people, but I use Midtown West to non-NYC people because it geographically explains better where it is. But the most correct name is “Clinton” for sure.

Love this ,very rarely is uptown included with in manhattan maps, a lot of them stop at Harlem …

Edit :gentrifiers and Mfers from Idaho and Wisconsin downvoting my comment is hilarious

Two Bridges is a neighborhood, but Hamilton Heights isn’t?

A lot. Lenox Hill, Yorkville. Manhattanville. Hudson Square. Many others.

Map is actually pretty shit if I’m being honest and seems like a shill post if anything. Not sure why this sub is jerking off over it.

Very cool! As someone who just moved here last year (visiting since young though), I need something like this so I know where things are.

I do like the way "Washington Hts" and "Morningside Hts" are tilted to match the angle of north/Broadway.

I do NOT like the way the word "Heights" was needlessly abbreviated in both of those cases.

I also don't like the haphazard way labels are rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise, nor the way some are left-justified, others are right-justified, and others are centered.

I also don't like that Marble Hill and Roosevelt Island are missing. And I wish Hudson Square was pulled out of Soho.

Still, it includes Inwood, which is ... unusual. And appreciated.

Man, Central Park is a miracle. How they kept that much prime real estate out of the hands of developers is beyond me.

Replying to manticorpse (#763,587)

Totally. It’s design chaos with variable type size, weight, spacing, orientation, abbreviation, you name it. Central Park is also not a neighborhood… this piece would really have benefited from some negative space there.

The fonts being all over the place in size and orientation is mildly infuriating. Basically you input a bunch of stuff into a computer and the machine did all of this?

That's really pretty cool. Coming from a family of men handy with wood and I had a wood burning (child burning too if not careful) kit as a kid. Long before lasers were a reality.
