Hello.
If you like working with crosswalks, in addition to using the default editor iD, there's also RapiD(https://rapideditor.org/rapid). It works mostly exactly the same as iD, but in some situation significantly faster. One very useful feature is when you tag a crosswalk way, it automatically tags the intersecting node with appropriate tags as well.

It also has support for some external databases, like Microsoft's AI building detection (mostly irrelevant for NYC), some address databases around US and the world, etc.
