in the lower left, y'have yer hoboken, also known as, but not identified as, roboken.
the mighty hudson river separates my apartment from the center of manhattan. to the right, about where it says "w 23rd st" is my office. rigth by that lil green blob.
that green blob is actually the huge madison park that i eat my lunch at. surrounded by the flatiron building, the met life tower and beautiful views of the empire state building. but, on the map, its justa green blob of happiness. ... and the happiness is only assumed.
climbing to the upper right is the huge green blob. thats central park. its, like, 5 or 6 square miles of beautiful non-citiness. parks, trees, fields, rivers, lakes, grass, flowers... its beautiful. i've been there a few times before, but never have i been responsible for getting myself there.
actually, that wasn't too bad. we took two subways up the 60 some-odd streets and arrived at the park by 6:05 -- just 5 minutes after the game began. shouldn't have been a problem, cuz we knew we weren't starting.
but that wasn't the problem.
