Watch the grid of Manhattan appear

As the Manhattan grid turns 200 years old, The NY Times has created a cool online map that shows old maps overlaid on the current grid.  Check out the northern end to see how the river got moved.  That is also where we'll be starting our hike down Manhattan island on April 9th.

Pop your heads into 132 W.58th on Saturday! The 3-course prix fixe lunch is really quite reasonable. :)

On Google Maps that address appears to be s Subway, so I assume that the prix fixe is the $5 footlong.
