Nice layout, although partly flawed, judging by the comments.

Because the borders of these neighborhoods --and sometimes their very existence-- are matters of opinion, this map is as good as such an effort can get. It's certainly a distinguished work of graphics.

it's an attempt -- missing some small distinguished neighborhoods as Sutton Place.

A bit realtor-friendly, too -- even I don't claim that "SoHo" is that ginormous, and while my industry certain wants to feel that Tribeca pushes down below Chambers (to include, say, 92 Warren) I think it's far from settled.

I was going to make a similar comment, especially regarding SoHo.

The classic cast iron architecture of SoHo pretty much ceases to exist at Thompson / Sullivan Streets -- west of that one finds (first) a southern extension of Greenwich Village and (second -- from 6th Avenue west) Hudson Square. Visually these are three very distinct districts / neighborhoods.

Architecture wise, Tribeca does touch down as far as Chambers around Church Street, and crosses Chambers -- with cast iron facade buildings found along both the north and south sides of Chambers Street. As one moves farther west on Chambers the area seems more in line with the architecture / feel of Battery Park City.

Of course such specifics would make the graphics of the map more complicated.

As with the 1970's subway map (where the routes of the various lines were drawn to suit the graphics rather than to show how they actually ran through the city) the simplification of the visuals in the Neighborhood map works in a general sense.
