Hi, I really love your site, but wanted to help with some updates. Some of the neighborhood data for NYC is inaccurate. For example, http://nominatim. openstreetmap.org/reverse? osm_type=N&osm_id=2184804432 is not in the Diamond District nor Chelsea - it's in Midtown East. Also http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse? osm_type=N&osm_id=2184803604 is not in Chatham Towers nor Greenwich Village - it's in Soho.
If you want a benchmark source for creating admin boundaries, I feel this wikipedia link is very accurate with determining borders of neighborhood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ Manhattan_neighborhoods (the image displayed in 'Full resolution' is useful), but the wiki provides excessive sub-neighborhood detail impractical to the way most New Yorkers think. I feel this site has a good concept of practical neighborhood breakdowns: http://www. nyctourist.com/map1.htm, maybe this with the borders defined on wikipedia can serve as a reference guide. I know neighborhood distinctions can be a very subjective issue, but the current info on openstreetmaps is materially inaccurate. I love the concept of your site and want to contribute. Please let me know if I can assist any further. Regards, Kushal
