Today's location: not yet announced

The New York City graticule is at latitude 40, longitude -73. It includes most of New York City (minus Staten Island, the west tip of Brooklyn, the West Village & Chelsea and downtown Manhattan) and a whole hell of a lot of Long Island. Sigh, if only our graticule were not mostly sea water... On the bright side, non-preppies can now visit the Greenwich, CT islands in this graticule via Metro North and ferry.


Today's Location: [New York, NY]

There is a facebook group for New York, NY geohashers. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19859510038
