On a day like this, you're probably wondering where you can find some sweet, sweet shade. The NYC OASIS map has the answer-- it shows all the trees in the five boroughs, including the ones in the backyards and on the streets. [Via IMBY, who points out that Park Slope and Windsor Terrace are unusually leafy.]

Fort Greene gots the trees, bitchez!
This map is totally incorrect. Trees don't grow in Brooklyn.
I could hear English (and English as a second language) teachers all over the city screaming when they read your headline. It should be either "Where are all the trees?" or "Where all the trees are." Dangling prepositions are bad.
people who complain about dangling prepositions are worse...
As we all roast in our apartments tonight, take a look at the neighborhood in which you live: are there "green roofs" which help to cool down "heat islands" are there trees on your street. Me, for instance, take the F train over the Gowanus canal from Park Slope every morning, I see so much naked flat warehouse rooftop around there, it's a huge heat island, how much more comfortable (and cleaner the canal) if we could put vegetation on these roofs? The incidence of flooding would be reduced during rain storms because the "green roofs" use and trap the rain water, cooling the air, sucking up CO2, and drying the streets.
