Indeed, New York is the largest, most complex maze that we might choose to challenge ourselves in. The city is laid upon a three-dimensional grid: there is the network of subterranean trains, which spans over two hundred miles; there are the roads and highways, which are saturated with vehicles; and there are the airplanes. Getting to where we need to go and getting there on time involves navigating this multifaceted maze. Daily—we bob and weave between tourists on the sidewalk, evade halal carts and we narrowly avoid getting struck by careless livery cab drivers. With the MTA’s fickle subway schedule and occasional road construction, it is unpredictable when, or where, a path may be available to use. The maze of New York City may even dwarf the mythical labyrinth that Theseus overcame—a structure so complex, holding a beast so fierce, that it was said even Daedalus, its creator, had difficulty leaving when he was finished. The maze was a double-threat—the Herculean task of defeating the Minotaur was not the salvation—escaping the intricate maze was.
