The story of The Great Gatsby takes place in New York, mainly on Long Island with some excursions into the big city. Though "the Eggs" don't exist per se, they are based on real-life geography. Check out this little Google map I put together of some of the locations of the book (and of Fitzgerald's house). You can move around within the map using the little Google person...it's a little weird, for sure, but helpful to get your bearings in the setting of the story. The blue taxi represents Manhattan; pull the map to the left to see the "Eggs." (It might take a minute to load.)
