dmr, I live in ft green (vote on adelphi), but will be taking advantage of having the day off: vote, leisurely breakfast, fish n chips lunch with champions league soccer, and roasting a chicken for dinner.

It's OK, don't worry, it's all part of Obama's grand plan to turn the US into a European Socialist Scrounger's Paradise, etc. Today yr subway maps, tomorrow - nationalised healthcare or something WACKY like that.

I'm going to be in NYC in January. I am going to get really really lost, aren't I?

I find New York pretty easy to find your way around in since the river provides a convenient north south axis.
― LUTE JOINTS (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link
"north"/"south" axis
― Uncle Shavedlongcock (max), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link
is that new map for real, like up in subway stations? i think i am opposed to the idea of buying a subway map that fits in my pocket instead of picking up freebies and losing them at my convenience.
― schlump, Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes, max I am aware that it is "new york north"
― LUTE JOINTS (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Saturday, 8 November 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link
so no one wants to talk about how both of those NYC subway maps tom posted look like a flacid little cock n balls in profile?
― ian, Saturday, 8 November 2008 18:08 (fifteen years ago) link
i think someone did say that actually
― corrie ham (roxymuzak), Saturday, 8 November 2008 18:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, it's nice to know who has me killfiled, innit?
Manhattan is easy enough to navigate but I can't remember how Queens works - I did once work it out, in terms of Avenues and Roads and Streets and Courts or whatever, but I have forgotten. I haven't lived in NYC since there was a Democrat in the White House.

Oh man the 1951 map is awesome.

what is going on with the rockaways in that subway map
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 10 November 2008 01:26 (fifteen years ago) link
It's a nice feeling when you realize you've officially become part of the jaded, bitter, heartless new york mass. It's everything I ever thought I'd be when I was a wee one.
― burt_stanton, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link
i think that new map looks nice

yeah, I kinda like the Kick Map... it's definitely in the spirit of the Vignelli 72 map. I have a nice print of Vignelli's 2008 update hanging in my apartment.
― burt_stanton, Monday, 10 November 2008 01:32 (fifteen years ago) link
for sure xp

i have a map of the WORLD in my apartment! someone left it here after a party...? i don't understand why a person brought it to my house but it's mine now.

Thankin u! Staten Island puh leese.
I'm already partial to this map.

that is a v nice-looking and not very useful map
― gabbneb, Monday, 10 November 2008 16:32 (fifteen years ago) link
path train should just be part of the subway right
― SNAKES! (ice crӕm), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Yes, but it would never happen - too much lost revenue if you could just transfer free from PATH to Subway.
― Tyrone Quattlebaum (Hurting 2), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:35 (fifteen years ago) link
plus u would lose all the unique PATH culture & ads
― Uncle Shavedlongcock (max), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
NO official MTA map is any good for relating trains to surface streets, for that I am completely dependent on the gmaps hack at http://www.onnyturf.com/subway/. But the columbia.edu map is WAY less embarrassing looking than the new MTA one.
― Fred Dalton Township (Laurel), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
i have never taken the path - a friend of mine used to use it to commute within manhattan
― SNAKES! (ice crӕm), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
It's cheaper and cleaner than anything on the MTA, for sure, but unlimited cards kind of negate the first. I guess if you're going from the West Vil to Herald Sq it's your favorite train?
― Fred Dalton Township (Laurel), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:44 (fifteen years ago) link
yah that was her commute
― SNAKES! (ice crӕm), Monday, 10 November 2008 16:46 (fifteen years ago) link
i guess that thing looks alright on closer inspection but i like having at least some landmarks on the map
― gabbneb, Monday, 10 November 2008 17:43 (fifteen years ago) link
