Streets get their names from many different sources. One example is the method of naming streets after numbers (1st avenue, 2nd avenue.) In this example, streets are named based upon the order they were constructed in. Other street name examples include naming streets after other cities or towns, naming streets after famous people, and naming streets after foliage in the area.
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.
