How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Algonquin is Liberty City's central island borough and holds most of the game's skyscrapers and famous landmarks.
The real place
Manhattan is New York City's densest borough and its business and cultural centre. The game shrinks it into a compressed island that keeps the grid, Central Park and the Midtown and Downtown skylines. The coordinates are Wikipedia's point for Manhattan, in Lower Manhattan; it is a pin for the whole borough.
Visiting
Walking and the subway are the easiest ways to get around. Plan your sightseeing area by area, Downtown, Midtown and then uptown, rather than crossing the island several times.
