Google Maps Street View

If you go over to Google Maps today, you’ll notice that there’s a new button that you can click on labeled “Street View”.

The street view is a new and in-depth way to look at major city roads and streets. It is currently available in the 5 select US cities below:

  • San Francisco, CA
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Denver, CO
  • Miami, FL
  • New York, NY

Street View is pretty simple to use. You just click the “street view” button to turn the feature on, and then once you’ve done that, you click anywhere on the map that has a blue outline on it and a little man appears and faces the direction that you are looking in. The image is 360-degree viewable, so you just click and drag inside the photo that pops up and play around.

I’m guessing that since Yung Kee is closed in the Google Maps street view, that the photos in this midtown area were either taken on a Sunday or taken after business hours in the summer. Just my guess though.
