the Heere graht was a canal, that ran from the Hudson river through New Amsterdam to allow goods to be carried on barges, from the ships in the port. The canal ran along what is now Broadway. If in fact there was a street named DeHeere, it woould have been at the end of the canal, or renamed after the canal was filled in.

171 Amsterdam Avenue New York NY?

Since you did not actually ask a question, I'm not sure what you want to know about this address. 171 Amsterdam Avenue is between West 67th and West 68th Street. The closest subway station is the 66th Street-Lincoln Center stop on the 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line). Take the 1 train to 66th Street-Lincoln Center. You will exit the subway at 66th Street and Broadway. Walk one block north on Broadway to 67th Street, and turn left. Walk one block west on 67th to Amsterdam Avenue. Your destination is near the corner of 68th and Amsterdam. See the Related Link below for a complete New York City subway map.
