Analyzing All of the Words Found on NYC Streets

The data is astonishing; it feels like sifting through the city's source code. For example, here's all 111,290 matches for “pizza,” on a map.

Matches for “Broadway” (62,424 matches) identify street signs, of course. The resulting map is oddly satisfying, illuminating each of the five boroughs’ Broadway.

And a lot of design too... with over 50k matches, a big creative apple!
