You gotta know your maps

One thing we learned early on living in NYC, you have to get to know your map. Luckily, Manhattan is a small area, though very dense. Eventually you don't need a map, but I usually keep one handy, especially for maneuvering lower Manhattan where the streets aren't numbered. Jackson and Sydney have also learned the value of our "Streetwise Manhattan" map...we found them "studying" it the other night as we prepared for a trip to the city the next day.
