New York City is for sellouts

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.

i think that new map looks nice

lol @ drunken middle of the night me getting upset abt the new subway map

jamaica bay does look really weird and wrong tho

it's better than that shitty new taxi logo

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.

for sure xp

honestly brooklyn/queens looks like a laughing monkey in profile.

shocker: messageboard poster has map of subway hanging in apartment

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.

is this seriously a stereotype

btw old map not at all cartographicaly accurate

Thankin u! Staten Island puh leese.

I'm already partial to this map.

that is a v nice-looking and not very useful map

path train should just be part of the subway right

Yes, but it would never happen - too much lost revenue if you could just transfer free from PATH to Subway.

plus u would lose all the unique PATH culture & ads

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.

i have never taken the path - a friend of mine used to use it to commute within manhattan

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?

yah that was her commute

i guess that thing looks alright on closer inspection but i like having at least some landmarks on the map

big map

neat

o i luv the neighborhoods on that one

lol, the Meatpacking District is "Meat Mkt"

a bunch of revolutionary war reenactors just marched by my house

sellouts

srsly

i saw them at the farmer's market and this woman was like, i didn't know people actually did that.

haha i used to work w/one of those guys - he was pretty sad

apparently google nyc building has the second largest footprint in the city - here it is http://tinyurl.com/6n5nms it take up a block

whats #1 tho - i cant find it out

??????

The theme of Google’s Chelsea offices is “urban parks” — so there is a lot of exposed brick, dirty windows (with signs saying they are left dirty on purpose), graffiti font, metal and AstroTurf-ish grass. Blackboards, complimenting white boards, allow Googlers to scribble and be creative to their hearts content (but no photos, please.)

the Met? xp

google, please

dirty windows (with signs saying they are left dirty on purpose) lololol

seriously what the fuck is that about, it looks like when somebody takes a font that is already bold/black weight by design and then ctrl-Bs it again. ugly ugly shitto

this?

i've seen the new nyc logo on a bunch of forms. i'd thought it was only for building department related letters, though, which kind of made more sense. i think it's ok.

what's something good and new yorky i can do? i moved here like a month or two ago and i'm sat around at home not doing anything and wishing to utilise my sunday.
