actually tho, flowing windy streets and roads are so much better.
Less intersections where cars can crash into pedestrians or other vehicles
Boston looks much easier to navigate though. Much clearer road hierarchy, meaning better flowing traffic, and less traffic near houses and shops.

Where I'm from cities like Boston are the norm. When I was in a grid city for the first time, I immediately got lost on the roads because everything just looks the same.
On the other hand, Americans seem to have a more intuitive sense of the cardinal directions than Europeans do from my experience. Which makes sense if you're used to roads aligned with them.
I am familiar with Boston, and the 2 times I have driven in nyc it was SIGNIFICANTLY easier to navigate than Boston lol. NYC was at least partially thought out, Boston is what you get when your road planner is a 3 year old toddler who threw a hand full of spaghetti on a map and said theres your streets LOL. Possibly the most annoying city I have had the misfortune of navigating lol.
Welcome to everywhere else in the world that's not a fucking grid lol.
This isnt a computer where traces are made in 90 and 45° angles.
There weren't computers when NYC's grid was laid out either.
