Last year we told you about a variety of cities that got detailed facades, after Google used their StreetView imagery and mapped it onto the sides of the buildings. Now they've added the detailed facades to New York City and they look great!
They're not saying how much of the city has gotten the treatment, but it seems to be a massive area. While the coverage is a bit spotty at times, they seem to have covered virtually all of Manhattan. You can read more about it on the Google LatLong blog or watch the video below:
