New York as a Strava art canvas

Manhattan's rectangular street grid comes from the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, which laid out the streets above Houston Street and below 155th Street. South of Houston, the older streets do not follow it.

Our two Manhattan routes sit on both sides of that line. The diamond ring is mostly south of Houston Street, on Varick, Canal, Grand and Wooster Streets. The heart reaches the grid at East 17th Street and 1st Avenue.

The two Manhattan routes are neighbours. The diamond ring starts at Canal Street station, and the heart uses Canal Street too on its way from Columbus Park to West Street and the Hudson River Park Esplanade.

Brooklyn is the most populous of the city's five boroughs. Our dove is drawn in the north of it, on avenues such as Marcy, Flushing, DeKalb and Lafayette.
