This is a neat little laser project but what’s up with the Lower East Side label? If you’re looking to sell these, I would suggest just shrinking the font. If not, to each their own.

Alternatively, just call it LES

The type choices overall are kind of driving me nuts. :)
manticorpse t1_iy87dzm wrote
I do like the way "Washington Hts" and "Morningside Hts" are tilted to match the angle of north/Broadway.
I do NOT like the way the word "Heights" was needlessly abbreviated in both of those cases.
I also don't like the haphazard way labels are rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise, nor the way some are left-justified, others are right-justified, and others are centered.
I also don't like that Marble Hill and Roosevelt Island are missing. And I wish Hudson Square was pulled out of Soho.
Still, it includes Inwood, which is ... unusual. And appreciated.
the_letharg1c t1_iy8ghpk wrote
Totally. It’s design chaos with variable type size, weight, spacing, orientation, abbreviation, you name it. Central Park is also not a neighborhood… this piece would really have benefited from some negative space there.

Hamilton heights what the first thing I noticed that was missing. But Yorkville too.

I bet you have to make a cutoff somewhere, there just wouldn't be enough room unless you really shrunk down the font size or increased the size of the map.
Here is prob the best map for the neighborhoods in nyc. https://www.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/city-neighborhoods/dcp-city-of-neighborhoods-2022.pdf

Morning side heights is sooooo small compared to Washington heights. I understand in the cause of smaller hoods that make up ues

Thank you. That’s excellent.
transitapparel t1_iy67goq wrote
Still doesn't show borders though of the individual neighborhoods. It's crazy to me that the prime authority to establish those borders is hesitant to do so.
Frenzyplants t1_iy6qwrm wrote
Hamilton Heights like Manhattanville or Sugar Hill are not real neighborhoods. Nobody says I'm from Manhattanville lol. They say they're from Harlem.

What do you call the area around like 50th and 6th?
ssn156357453 t1_iy6nvx3 wrote
I'd call it Rockefeller center but ok fine yeah midtown. but like most of what people call midtown isn't midtown. It's just they don't know the real neighborhood names.
123DanB t1_iy6bmr6 wrote
Super correct, and Hell’s Kitchen is formally known as both Clinton and Midtown West. Hell’s Kitchen is an informal name.
ssn156357453 t1_iy6cdef wrote
Yes what happened to it being called Clinton
123DanB t1_iy6cruc wrote
HK is the term I use with my NYC people, but I use Midtown West to non-NYC people because it geographically explains better where it is. But the most correct name is “Clinton” for sure.
TotallyNotGlenDavis t1_iy6hwag wrote
Wasn't Clinton just a PR push by realtors because people didn't want to live in place called Hell's Kitchen? Literally every person from the city calls it HK.
123DanB t1_iy6lx4e wrote
TotallyNotGlenDavis t1_iy6njxq wrote
That kind of corroborates what I said right? The page almost exclusively refers to it as HK and says that "Clinton" was offered as an alternative by real estate developers.

You have to tilt the map on your wall in the proper northeasterly angle... it does not run straight on a north/south axis. In which case, the font should be angled.

Manhattanville is a distinct neighborhood between MoHi and Harlem.. has been since before the revolutionary war.
And Harlem is absolutely three neighborhoods: West, Central, and East Harlem. You can’t just glomb central and west Harlem together.. do you even live here??
