New SoHo Map!

Thanks to my friend Gail, I no longer have to have a stolen map up there on the top right of the blog sidebar . . . she made me a new one! So big appreciation to her for that.

Gail said I should also give thanks to the City of New York for making their Geographic Information Systems (GIS) free and accessible. Thanks, NYC!

Maps

It always helps to see a map! I'm currently having an original SoHo map created for this site, but in the meantime, here are three good ones I found on other sites. Click any of them to embiggen.


The nice, simple one above (which I also have up in the sidebar) is from NYCTourist.com.


This one is a lot more complex and detailed, but there are strange omissions, and a bunch of the listings are no longer accurate. For the purposes of SoHo Windows, I'm considering SoHo to be between Houston St. to the north, Canal St. to the south, 6th Avenue to the west, and Broadway to the east, but this map shows all the subway lines, so that's useful. I snagged the map from this site, but it's got some horrible talking thing that launches automatically, so consider yourself warned.


This one renders a little pixilated, but it's still pretty useful. I got it from The City of New York site.
