I wonder why it seems to circumvent Hells Kitchen?
- walterbell 1y agoAlso circumvents Times Square, Penn Station, SOHO and Lower East Side.
- duskwuff 1y agoThere are limits on how much traffic can pass in and out of the boundaries of an eruv. I suspect that's why it avoids high-traffic areas like Times Square, as well as the area around Turtle Bay.
- anthk 1y agoThat reminds me of the New York City level from the first Deus Ex game where the level games are laveled like "Hell's Kitchen".
- jefftk 1y ago"Hell's Kitchen" doesn't sound like something I'd want inside my house.
- zaptrem 1y agoSorry, “”Midtown West””
- epc 1y agoI don't think that's a current map, the eruv web site shows much more of the island covered (including much of Hell's Kitchen): http://eruv.nyc/#map http://eruv.nyc/#map
- michtzik 1y agoSome number of years ago, I looked at the map on this page and tried to find the eruv on the west side, near 14th St and a few streets below. My conclusion was the eruv wasn't there (despite the green checkmark on the website), making this whole thing even more fun than people find it here! :)
- epc 1y agoI'm not in the city at the moment to check but they seem to take it down or shift it when there's going to be construction in an area. With the Gansevoort Pier rebuild and Little Island it wouldn't surprise me if they shifted where the wire crossed West St further South to avoid the construction.
- n1b0m 1y agoI believe the Hells Kitchen avoids using actual wire because it relies on existing structures like telephone poles and buildings.
