A detail of a street in the West Village neighborhood of New York paved with Belgian Blocks
A detail of a street in the West Village neighborhood of New York paved with Belgian Blocks, seen on Saturday, March 3, 2012. Streets in New York City were never paved with cobblestones, a common misnomer, and have always used the more finished granite Belgian Blocks. Cobblestones are small rounded rocks unsuitable for horse or vehicular traffic. (© Richard B. Levine)
