So you ask, what's the difference between New York City circa 1882 and today?
Ask will ya?
A wonderful exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, The Greatest Grid, is showing how the grid known as New York City was built and the reasons behind it. Did you know why there are so few Avenues? Do you know how far the original map of the city went north? A really great read from the New York Times on this dovetails the Museum of the City of New York show incredibly well. It asks all the right questions to make you wanna go see the exhibit. We'll offer two pics, one from Park Avenue looking south at 94th Street in 1882 and one today.
