Gotham of their eyes

Following on the heels of The Brick Testament, a Gothamist post points me to more unlikely lego creations.

Sean Kenney (Lego model maker) has a bunchof NYC icons in miniature at The "Brick" Apple, from skyscrapers (the Empire State Building, Chrysler, WTC, UN) to taxis to water towers. The best creation, in my opinion, is Greenwich Village--it's quite the bustling few blocks, complete with parking meters.

New York Miniland, a section of Brickland, seems to have more of a focus on building big versions of many of the classic skyscrapers. There are just photos here, no real personal information.

The original Gothamist post focused on what seems like an amazing recreation of NYC someone did in Sim City. Unfortunately the site seems to have crashed (hope that's not an omen for Wall Street!)

Until it comes back, check out the classic recreation of NYC, the Panorama at the Queens Museum of Art.
