Best Answer

It depends on what you're trying to communicate. "Run inthe street" describes a runner or jogger trotting within the confines of a public thoroughfare. "Run on the street" means any person, conducting the majority of their life (including passing the night there sleeping on an occasional, if not frequent basis), primarily in open, public places, or those immediately adjoining them. "Run on the street" can also be a description of an automobile, which is operated there rather than "Run on a track, or closed course."

Do you say the street or avenue first in Manhattan?

I don't think it really matters. When it comes to the numbered streets, people seem to typically say the street first: "102nd Street and Broadway," or "68th Street and 3rd Avenue." But when you get below the numbered streets, I don't think it really matters. Someone is just as likely to say, "2nd Avenue and Houston Street," as, "Houston Street and 2nd Avenue." When you get below Houston Street, there aren't that many wide avenues. The streets down there are all very tiny, and they run in crazy zig-zags. The neat grid pattern that Manhattan is laid out on disappears below Houston Street. The majority of the avenues below Houston are actually called streets, such as Centre Street, Varick Street, Hudson Street, etc. Centre, Varick and Hudson Streets run south/north, not east/west, so technically they are avenues, but they're called streets because they're small, and because they don't run in straight lines.
