Is it NYC [0] is a tiny project that interrelates global neighborhoods by their latent-space proximity to the lingua franca of urban vibes: NYC neighborhoods. "Nob Hill is Upper East Side meets Brooklyn Heights with a touch of East Village." LLM-powered type-beat.

Plus, a map of every Williamsburg-core neighborhood in the world [2] (or any other NYC neighborhood for that matter).

All of the content is lazily LLM-derived from Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

The mapping is powered by protomaps, maplibre, and mapbox. app is next15, rsc, shadcn, cmdk, tailwind, vercel/ai and is on github [3] for browsing.
