New York on a poster
Manhattan is a grid squeezed between two rivers, so most posters here come out as tight rows of blocks with water on one or both edges. Below 14th Street on the west side the grid breaks up and the West Village streets run at odd angles, which reads beautifully in a heart or a circle.
Places New York couples put on the map
Bow Bridge, Central Park
The cast iron bridge over the Lake, the classic place to propose in the park. On the poster the heart sits on the water with the paths of the Ramble around it.
Brooklyn Bridge
For the couple who walked it on a first date, or the one who lives on the other side. The bridge crosses the East River right through the middle of the map.
Grand Central Terminal
Met on a train, said goodbye under the clock, whispered across the gallery downstairs. Midtown's grid frames it on every side.
Washington Square Park
The arch, the fountain, the chess tables. A lot of NYU couples started here, and the Village streets around it make one of the nicest maps in the city.

Questions
Can I map a different part of New York?
Yes. Type any address, park, bar or street in New York or nearby and the map centers there. The places above are only ideas.
Does it have to be names?
No. The big line can be New York, your names or any short words you like, and the place line under it is yours too.
Will it look like the preview?
Yes. The preview in the editor is the file we print, at 300 dpi. At checkout you can open it full size and read every letter.
What if the place is not on today's maps?
Type it the way you remember it. If it is gone (a bar that closed, a street that was renamed), we show the town around it and the poster keeps the name you typed. For the exact spot, type its old street address.
When does it arrive?
Each poster is made to order and printed in California. US orders arrive in 4 to 8 business days, framed or not. We email tracking the day it ships.
