The New York City graticule is at latitude 40, longitude -73. It includes most of New York City (minus the West Village & Chelsea and downtown Manhattan -- who needs 'em? -- and extreme western Brooklyn) and a whole hell of a lot of Long Island. (If only over half of our graticule wasn't over water)

Issues
This seems to be one instance where the incredibly cool XKCD geohashing scheme fails. Many New Yorkers located in the city do not have cars due to the availability of public transportation and the lack of space to park said car. Because of this, people may instead choose to be lazy and not use the train to go out to Long Island.
