Limitations of street view

I'm not sure what this means, but I used the Internet is a new way today. Sort of.

I was trying to remember the name of a restaurant where I had dinner the last time I was in New York, and couldn't find it in Google Maps or any of the obvious yellow pages applications. So, I zoomed in on the street view in Google Maps to get a look at the sign in front of the place.

I was feeling pretty pleased with myself until I discovered a great, big truck sitting between me and and the restaurant's sign.
