I was in Queens last week for the US Open, so I made a point of visiting the Queens Museum of Art. They have the New York Panorama there, which was created for the 1964 World's Fair. I believe that 1 inch equals 100 feet, and pretty much every building in the city was included. They're actually in the process of revamping it with more current buildings. Take a look.

I don't disagree with that logic. But they do call it "The Panorama."
