From Battery Park City to Central Park, New York's plan is one most city lovers are familiar with.
The Commissioners' Plan of 1811 laid out the original city grid, with a system of wide avenues as a safeguard against overcrowding, fire, and disease. The grid celebrated its bicentennial in 2011, still going strong after all these years. Way better than an "I HEART NY" T-shirt, this elegant scarf will show your New York pride in style. 100% Silk.
San Francisco's off-kilter plan came together when two popular waterfronts built their grids up to meet at the diagonal of Market Street.
Only 7 miles square, San Franciscans have an outsized pride about their fair city and its views of San Francisco Bay. Stretching almost the full length of the city from the outer reaches of the Sunset to the Ferry Building at the water, this scarf celebrates Baghdad by the Bay in style. 100% Silk.
Pierre Charles L'Enfant laid out the unique grid of Washington, D.C. in 1791, founding a new city on the Potomac.
In L'Enfant's design, grand avenues criss-cross the grid, dotted by grand circles and plazas. The plan was controversial and L'Enfant was sacked, but many of his ideas still made it through. You too can be an iconoclast wearing this unique city plan scarf featuring the historic core of D.C. 100% Silk
Founded around AD 50, Early Roman London was roughly the size of today's Hyde Park.
Today, Greater London covers more than 600 square miles and has almost 8 million citizens. This scarf shows the plan view of the city on the Thames, including Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. Show your U.K. pride with this stunning scarf. 100% Silk
The City of Lights is without question one of the world's great cities.
Paris, founded about 250 BC by a Celtic tribe called the Parisii and famously cut through with boulevards by Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann in the mid-19th century, has a plan that reflects almost 2,000 years of history. This scarf beautifully portrays the historic core of Paris and its immediate area. A great gift for the worldly urban planner or designer.100% Silk
A truly ancient city, Rome's history spans two and a half thousand years.
By 31 B.C., Rome was the largest and grandest city in the world. Pope Sixtus V, way before Baron Hausmann had the idea in Paris, cut wide boulevards through the city's medieval warren of streets. Don a pair of Gucci sunglasses and this beautiful silk scarf bearing Rome's plan and you'll be as stylish as Sofia Loren.100% Silk
