Testing Central Park & Midtown Manhattan

Pics from a different city in a different region on a different server...

One of my earlier cities was based off of north Midtown and the Central Park area. It's pretty much a grid city with high density avenues and high density streets to see how close I could get to a Midtown Manhattan. The city isn't really a street for street representation of Midtown but does capture the essence of the city. The blocks aren't as long, but given how small cities are in SimCity, only a few blocks would fit if I kept it to scale. Also, unlike my Lower Manhattan city, this one was not built on sandbox mode and is dealing with the full woes of a regular game.

Given the limited size of a tile in SC2013 and that there is only one NY specific building (which isn't located in Manhattan), you have done a great job with the recreation so far. The night shot with the water sparkling in the dark is great.
