Nassau St Between Liberty St and Pine St

This is what the world would look like if you lived in The Matrix. An endless series of narrow passageways made up of dull textures, straight lines, right angels, and strict conformity. The occasional corporate logo is the only color present, and set against the mellow hues of the canyons, they can't help but pop.

Though narrow, the long streets offer lengthy views down to other blocks. Regardless of the direction you venture, repetition and monotony is all but inevitable.

What rare instances of character and class are to be had practically hide amongst the columns, but trust me, they're there.
