You can't go wrong with a grid system which is what NYC has for the area north of Washington Sq. Take a subway (safe and clean since the 80s) and Uptown and Downtown is the same as North and South. I have the worst sense of direction on the planet so for me to consider NYC easy to navigate than a 5 year old could do it.
