Extending the New York City Grid Worldwide Is Fun, Worrisome

New map-related internet trinket alert! Ever find yourself lost in the illogical, circular Moscow grid or driving aimlessly through the winding, sread-out-to-nowhere nonsense of the streets of Los Angeles? Not to worry. The ExtendNY site will project our city grid from Manhattan’s 1st and 1st onwards and around the globe so you can la-pretend-ignore-la-la other less conveniently engineered cities where you happen to get homesick.

The Kreml is around the corner from 5,986th Avenue and 94,343st Street. Yes, it is.

The only issue with this ever-so-entertaining internet-ditty is the fact that apparently, they’ve eradicated Alphabet City and no one wants to extend it to Avenue CC,CDE or whatever. Tsk tsk. Who’d ever do such a thing?
