67th St Between 3rd Ave and Lexington Ave

Today marks the 200th block posted to NYC Grid. Celebrate accordingly.

This block is like an entire Fisher Price neighborhood unto itself. All along the block you'll continually run into a series of neighborhood staples- First up is a rather ornate synagogue, which sits, rather imposingly on the north side of the street. Down the way you'll encounter a very classic-looking fire house, complete with big red garage doors. Finally, immediately after that you'll run into the green lights of neighborhood's police precinct. If the block only had these three buildings, you'd have many of your municipal needs covered.

The block is also home to several apartments and businesses which sit scattered along the way. If you make it to the Lexington Ave side, you'll see the huge 7th Regiment Armory building, which looks more like a fortress than anything else.
