Small global city - Zürich on the map

Thanks to the new feature in Google Maps, I saw Zürich in unusual way.

Here is the result of query [Bar Zurich] and some my labels:


All red dots are bars. You can clearly see two main nightlife areas. Interesting that without proper understanding of scale it is not obvious how small everything is :). Just for data point - from my place to the furthest nightlife area (known here as "Niedersdorf") takes ~20 min by public transport. Taxis rip off ~25 CHF (21 USD) for the same trip. From the office we usually can walk anywhere in the center without taking transport.

And here, all the red dots are restaurants:



And this is the smallest city in the list of Global Cities. Cosy. :)
