The later parts of Boston are grids, too. Back Bay (which was literally a bay, and that's part of why Fenway Park is sinking) is a slightly lumpy grid, and South Boston (a landfill-widened neck) is too.

Fenway is sinking? I googled that, and this joke article is all I could find: http://www.dugoutlegends.com/fenway-park-replaced/

Back Bay itself is landfill and it still shifts a little here and there. I was told during a tour once that parts of Fenway had sunk over time.
