Nice. Ear Inn 326 Spring Street NY, NY.

listed under madison square park and gramercy park neighborhood in the book;

" _ Alley is Manhattan's last dirt road, on a block where Herman Melville spent his last years. It is lit by one of NYC's few remaining cast-iron wall lamps. Some scattered Belgian blocks indicate it was paved years ago. There is one remaining residence: 8 _ Alley."

Dirt road, Manhattan

!?!

Bonus hint if you know who Herman is?

if you are going to be using that map link and since you started the thread why not paste it (the link) to your original post so everyone can find it easy.

That's no problem. One of us usually gets them up same or next day. thisflatearth created this one and I started jersey, but we are both the collaborators for them since we work together and watch them closely all day.

(found the alley by the way, great tag

)

I'm without a bike right now, so this is about the only way I can participate. Thisflatearth is doing the work, school, volunteer with two different organizations at the same time, thing, so it might be a while before he can start grabbing tags again.

For now we are the keepers of the cartography, for these two games at least.

Let one of us know if you see any errors. We want to keep it accurate.

OK, less read-y, more ride-y, more tag-y.
