Speaking of cool maps – the Wall Street Journal has an interactive map showing MetroCard usage by type of card and station.
Hours of fun.

Examining MetroCard Usage
Visualizing a Changing Region, Block by Block
CUNY’s Center for Urban Research has posted a very cool block-level map comparing the 2000 and 2010 census. (Based on work I’ve been doing, the 2010 census for part of North Brooklyn is flat out wrong, so take the numbers with a big grain of salt – but CUNY’s map is a thing of beauty.)
