Compass Directions in Manhattan

"East" in Manhattan is more like "east south east". If you look at a subway map here, it looks like uptown Manhattan is north and downtown is south, but it's actually a little off from compass north-south. Check out Manhattan Island on a street map.

It makes sense though because it's more convenient to think this way based on the layout of the Manhattan Island.

Yo dude. Cool pictures on your blog. Good idea. I've never been to NY but can imagine it would be something unique to itself.
