How do you walk from NYC Penn station to Bryant park NYC?
It's pretty straightforward. Penn Station is at 33rd to 34th Streets, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Depending on whether you use the east exit (7th Avenue) or the west exit (8th Avenue), you'll exit on 7th or 8th Avenues, at 33rd or 34th Streets. Turn right and walk east to 6th Avenue (1 - 2 blocks, not counting Broadway, which cuts between avenues). Then turn left and walk north from West 34th to West 40th. Bryant Park stretches from 40th to 42nd Streets, between 6th and 5th Avenues.

What is the difference between an avenue and a street?
Avenue typically refers to a wide road with trees or buildings running alongside, often serving as a prominent thoroughfare. Street tends to be a narrower public thoroughfare in a city or town, often lined with buildings and homes. This is a general distinction and may vary based on regional or local conventions.
Why is it easy to use the latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are similar to large cities having streets running in one direction (e.g., East-West) and avenues running parallel (e.g., North-South) such that if you know a street number and avenue intersection you can find any places relative to any intersection (e.g. 5th Avenue and East 75th Street). Latitude and longitude use the same concept such that knowing the coordinates can locate any point on the planet. Latitude and longitude is easier than streets and avenues because latitude and longitude is consistent across the planet, while streets and avenues are not. In addition, you can add decimal places to the coordinates to get a more precise location down to a single point plus or minus a centimeter or smaller.

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.
