Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
In July, we reported on the arrival of Google Street View inside New York City’s landmarks, cultural institutions, and parks like The High Line. Did you know that every one of Central Park’s walking paths are also available on street view? This initiative was launched at the same time street view was available for the 9/11 Memorial.
The short video below is about the street view project in Central Park with interviews with the Central Park Conservancy staff, who says “The great thing about Central Park is that there’s always a discovery around the corner, and that was the intent of the original design.” Read on for our piece on the secrets of Central Park.
