At 2am it looks pretty different (which is an odd default right?), at other times it looks pretty much the same. I used 6pm for comparisons and the heat-map was much more similar.
I picked 2am Saturday as the default time because it seemed the most interesting. 5pm Tuesday looks very different. Even 4am Saturday has different hotspots than two hours earlier.
NYC has a open data policy. http://iquantny.tumblr.com/ has great analysis and commentary on a lot of the open NYC data that you might find interesting.

I used http://leafletjs.com/ and https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.heat for the visualization.
