New York maps
Of the five boroughs of NYC, Manhattan is where most of the attractions appealing to visitors are located; the Bronx is the only borough connected to the mainland United States; Queens is where Kennedy and LaGuardia airports are located and occupies part of Long Island; Brooklyn is south of Queens and is also on Long Island; and Staten Island is the least populous borough.
Finding your way around Manhattan is easy as there is a well-executed grid system numbering the streets. Avenues run north-south and most are numbered. Broadway is the exception to the rule; it's the only major avenue that doesn't run uptown-downtown. It cuts a diagonal path across the island, from the northwest tip down to the southeast corner. Streets run east-west and are numbered consecutively.
