When I got bored with grids I started to do weird angled and curved roads, I found that as my cities grew the felt like the would have more character. I worried less about filling space efficiently and more about just making it look neat and sophisticated or sometimes just creepy and rundown. If I wanted a slum I built train tracks and nonsensical roads with dead ends. If I wanted downtown's that looked like hey had life to them I'll build triangle style roads and fill them up with high density mix or residential and commercial then leave some space for the unique buildings that you get along the way.
