MANHATTAN — Pest-conscious diners can now receive monthly updates on the movements of the city's cockroach population.
The New York City Roach Map, which includes a monthly e-newsletter option, was created last weekend to track cockroach sightings in city restaurants and is already sending heebie-jeebie shock waves throughout the Internet.
Using health inspection data provided by the city, the map identifies the Financial District, Harlem, Inwood and Washington Heights as the Manhattan's current cockroach hotbeds.
The map was created by a group of journalists and web developers during a two-day, all-night work session called The Great Urban Hack NYC 2010.
