New York has multiple grids, though. The one in Manhattan north of 14th street is the one most people are aware of. But Queens and Brooklyn are mostly a patchwork of separate grids, and even Manhattan gets messy south of 14th street. (West 4th Street and West 12th Street intersect; the financial district preserves the Colonial street layout and is as messy as anything in, say, Boston.)
