It's actually an abstract 3D model of lower Manhattan complete with Ferris wheel and....gigantic cheese slicer, or something.
Speaking of, I took a tour of the island via google maps the other day to cure my NY geography ig'nance, and wow...I don't know how anyone there stays sane. The density and overload gave me a panic attack and I was only surveying it from the sky. Detroit is like postwar Berlin in comparison, except it's been destroyed by stupidity, which is more powerful than the Eight Air Force ever was.
It's much too pretty to be lower Manhattan. (Incidentally, lower Manhattan could certainly use a Ferris wheel and gigantic cheese slicer.)
New York has been destroyed by stupidity and realtors. Still, it's a lot more approachable from the ground. The trick is to avoid Midtown and the Financial District and learn to love the grid and the wacko parts that wander off the grid pattern.
