Haha this is fun, man, well done. As someone who's never been to NYC, how accurate is this, the buildings and streets?

the blocks and building scales are accurate - based on OpenNYC, but the building styles / shapes are generic

I'm not oriented, but am puzzled by the diagonal avenue - it's like a mirrored Broadway?

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.

That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.
