The New York City Subway Map as You’ve Never Seen It Before

The New York City Subway Map as You’ve Never Seen It Before

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority map reflects how graphic design, politics and geography have shaped the city over the last 40 years.

Interesting. I love the way information was handled.

That was such a great read. One of the factoids says there are 10 buildings marked, 6 outside of Staten Island. I found a few but I'm not confident about all of them. NY Transit Museum, United Nations, Javits Center, The Met, Brooklyn Botanic Garden (does a garden with buildings count?), Co-Op City (it's a bunch of buildings, does that count?), Bronx Zoo (again they have buildings but it's not one building).

I was also trying to figure out what the ten buildings are.

Here's my list:

1. NY Transit Museum
2. Staten Island Mall
3. Seaview Hospital
4. College of Staten Island
5. Snug Harbor Cultural Center
6. Metropolitan Museum of Art
7. Javits Center
8. United Nations

I believe 9 & 10 are JFK and LGA respectively. While they consist of multiple buildings, they appear in the same font as the other eight items on my list and are not parks or other open spaces.

They really should be called 10 points of interest, IMO. Most of them aren't even single buildings.

I was thinking the airports might count at first too. Great article minus the vagueness of this one fact.
