The layout of New York City can be a mystery. Why are blocks in Manhattan so long when you walk east/ west, but so short when you walk north/ south? How come the Bronx has a nice, user- friendly grid system but Queens and Brooklyn are trickier to navigate?

Your hosts Kate and Kathleen have done their homework and will answer all your questions, and more, in Episode G.
