In New York, Madison Square, Herald Square, and Times Square are not true squares but simply the point at which Broadway crosses an avenue (Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh, respectively).
What if some early Baron Haussmann had come up with a formalized design for New York City that turned the "squares" into real squares - that interrupt the street and cause the streets to encircle them, and that have some sort of small park or at least statuary in the middle?
(This probably would require a pre-1900 POD, so I put it here.)
