Here is a great list of the parallel parts of Liberty City and it’s counterpart in real life New York City. I have to say since I am from New York this is great and I have a fun time driving around and just looking at the different sites and wondering where I would be in real life.

Thanks for the credit
Yeah those are pretty funny.
No problem for the credit, nice work with the list!
Yeah I saw the funny on the Daily Show last night and saw the guy driving around the city. He was driving around Coney Island and saw the cyclone. Then he was driving around other parts of the city and I was stunned by the quality and detail they put into the environment.
Jon Stewart stated last night: you can go into your home town bodega and stab the guy over the counter for selling 2.50 soda. LOL.
I like the creative renaming.
Meadow Hills is Forest Hills, Queens. The LIRR station and cobblestone roads look just like the one here…. I think Cerveza Heights is a mix of Jackson Heights and Corona…. It is ridiculous how detailed it is… Meadow Hills looks just like this one part of my neighborhood
