The GTA 4 map is Liberty City, Rockstar's New York: four boroughs, Broker (Brooklyn), Dukes (Queens), Bohan (the Bronx) and Algonquin (Manhattan), plus Alderney, its New Jersey, across the river. When Niko arrives, the bridges are closed over a terrorist threat: Algonquin opens after the mission Blow Your Cover, and Alderney after Three Leaf Clover.
