In Manhattan, the convention is to say the street first and then the avenue. This is because the street grid in Manhattan runs east-west, while the avenues run north-south. For example, if you were referring to a location at the corner of 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, you would say "42nd Street and 5th Avenue" in that order.

What is the zip code for Avenue A and Third Street in New York City?
I don't believe there is a 313 7th Street in Manhattan, so I think you must be asking about 313 7th Street in Brooklyn.For one thing, you did not say "East 7th Street" or "West 7th Street" as is customary with Manhattan addresses. Of course, it's possible you just forgot. But I don't think there even IS a West 7th Street in Manhattan, and the street numbers on East 7th Street don't seem to go up to 313.So I think you must be talking about 313 7th Street in Brooklyn, which is in the neighborhood known as Park Slope. The zip code is 11215.
How many Manhattan city blocks equal one mile?
This is a bit of a tricky question.The northernmost street on the island of Manhattan (in the Inwood neighborhood) is 220th Street. After 220th Street, the tip of Manhattan is separated from the bottom of the Bronx by a skinny stretch of river known as the Harlem River.However, the Marble Hill neighborhood, while geographically part of the Bronx, is officially considered to be a part of Manhattan, because it actually once was!The Marble Hill neighborhood used to be on the northermost tip of Manhattan, just north of the Inwood neighborhood. The part of the Harlem River that flowed past Marble Hill was extremely narrow, making it very dangerous for ships to sail from the Hudson River to the East River via the Harlem River.So in 1895, a deep, wide trench was completed (called the Harlem River Ship Channel), cutting Marble Hill off of Manhattan and making it into an island. In 1914, the narrow, dangerous stretch of river that separated Marble Hill from the Bronx was filled in, making Marble Hill geographically part of the Bronx. However, to this day, the Marble Hill neighborhood is still officially a part of Manhattan, even though it's in the Bronx now.So, since 228th Street forms the north boundary of Marble Hill, it is perfectly valid to say that the northernmost street in Manhattan is 228th Street -- not 220th Street.Now, 1st Street is not the southernmost street in Manhattan. Below 1st Street, the streets just have names instead of numbers.Houston Street is one block south of 1st Street. So, for the purposes of this answer, we will consider Houston Street to be Zero Street (0 St).For the most part, the neat little grid pattern that New York City is laid out on does not exist below Houston Street on the East Side, and 14th Street on the West Side. So it is difficult to count the streets downtown, since they are not laid out in neat little squares, but in crazy zig-zags. But I did my best, and I counted about 35 streets below Houston Street.220 + 35 = 255228 + 35 = 263So, if we say that 220th Street is the northernmost street in Manhattan, then Manhattan is about 255 blocks long. If we say that 228th Street is the northernmost street in Manhattan, then Manhattan is about 263 blocks long.
What subway do you take to get to fifth Avenue and 53rd Street?
Take the Uptown E train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) from 34th Street-Penn Station to 5th Avenue-53rd Street. Then walk 1 block west on 53rd Street to 6th Avenue.You'll know which way is west because 5th Avenue is the dividing line between the West and East Sides. So on the west side of 5th Avenue, the street sign will say "West 53rd Street," while on the east side of 5th Avenue, it will say "East 53rd Street."
How many New York City blocks is 0.28 miles?
In New York City, approximately 17 to 20 street blocks (north/south blocks) equals a mile, and about 5 to 10 avenue blocks (east/west blocks) equals a mile. The length of the avenue blocks varies considerably, depending on what neighborhood you're in.If we say that 17 street blocks is a mile, then 1 block equals approximately 0.06 miles. If we say that 20 street blocks is a mile, then 1 block equals 0.05 miles. So, 5 street blocks would equal 0.25 to 0.30 miles. So, approximately 5 street blocks equals 0.28 miles.If we say that 5 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1 avenue block equal 0.2 miles. If we say that 10 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1 avenue block equals 0.1 miles. If 5 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 1.5 avenue blocks equals 0.3 miles. If 10 avenue blocks equals 1 mile, then 3 avenue blocks equals 0.3 miles. So, approximately 1.5 to 3 avenue blocks equals 0.28 miles.
What subway do you take from 48th Street in Manhattan to Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn?
Take the Uptown 1 train (of the 1-2-3, the red line), or the Uptown 2 late nights, from Canal Street (at Varick Street) or Houston Street (on Varick Street between King and Houston Streets) to 14th Street (at 7th Avenue).Walk through the tunnel that connects the 14th Street Station-7th Avenue Station on the 1-2-3 to the 14th Street-6th Avenue Station.At the 14th Street-6th Avenue Station, transfer to the Brooklyn-bound L train (the grey line) to Bedford Avenue. Bedford Avenue is the first stop in Brooklyn. It's the next stop after 14th Street-1st Avenue.
Where is the location of the Flat Iron building?
The Flatiron Building is located at 23rd Street and Broadway. The exact address is 175 Fifth Avenue. The reason that the address is on Fifth Avenue, not Broadway, has to do with the building's iconic triangular shape. It was built in a triangle shape because of Broadway. Except for Lower Manhattan, New York City is arranged on a square grid pattern. Broadway ruins this neat little grid pattern by running in a diagonal line north/south through practically all of Manhattan. Since Broadway bisects some of the rectangular-shaped blocks diagonally, one large rectangular block becomes two smaller triangular blocks. There are more than a few of them dotted around the city, actually. However, even though Broadway appears to cut diagonally through Manhattan, it actually runs in a straight, true north/south line up and down Manhattan and New York State. Instead, it's Manhattan that's crooked. All of New York City is built on an eastward slant. Manhattan points northeast, not true north. Broadway starts out in Lower Manhattan and runs north all the way through Manhattan and then almost all the way up through New York State to Canada! It's not called Broadway the whole way, but it's the same street/road. It is the longest street in the world, actually. So, the Flatiron building is located at the three-way intersection of Broadway, Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street. That is why it is perfectly correct to say "the Flatiron building is at 23rd and Broadway" even though the exact address is 175 Fifth Avenue.
How can I correct this sentence we catch that there bus at the corner of elm street and first avenue.?
To correct the sentence, you can say, "We catch the bus at the corner of Elm Street and First Avenue." By removing the word "there" and adding the article "the" before "bus," the sentence becomes grammatically correct. Additionally, ensure that the verb "catch" agrees with the subject "we."
Where is the east village in New York City?
The East Village is located on Manhattan Island. Its northern boundary is 14th Street and its southern boundary is Houston Street (which in NYC is pronounced House-ton). Some people say the western boundary is Broadway, others the Bowery, others Third Avenue. Since it is not an official area, there is no set rule. The eastern boundary is the East River.
What is the zip code for Harlem New York?
Each neighborhood does not have its own corresponding zip code. The zip codes were not laid out with the boundaries of each neighborhood in mind. Furthermore, most New York City neighborhoods do not have precise boundaries.Also note that there are actually TWO Harlems, West Harlem and East Harlem. West Harlem -- which is most often referred to as just plain "Harlem," by native New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike -- is the historic black neighborhood where the Harlem Renaissance took place. East Harlem, aka Spanish Harlem, is a predominantly Latino neighborhood.If you meant to ask about Spanish Harlem aka East Harlem instead, then see the Related Question below.For the purposes of this answer, we will use a very broad definition of Harlem. We will say that Harlem is West 110th through West 132rd Streets, from Morningside Avenue to Fifth Avenue through 129th Street, and from Morningside Avenue to Lenox Avenue for West 130th through West 133rd Streets.By this definition, Harlem encompasses most of the 10027zip code, and all of the 10026 zip code.If this is too confusing for you, try asking your question again, this time being as specific as possible about the location (for example, "What is the zip code of West 118th Street between Manhattan Avenue and Frederick Douglass Boulevard?" or "What is the zip code of 442 Lenox Avenue?").The 10027 zip code in Harlem is:West 120th through West 129th Streets, from Morningside Avenue/Convent Avenue (Morningside Avenue becomes Convent Avenue at 125th Street) to Fifth Avenue, and West 130th through West 132nd Streets, from Convent Avenue to Lenox Avenue.The 10026 zip code is:West 110th through 119th Street, from Morningside Avenue* to Fifth Avenue.*Don't confuse Morningside Drive with Morningside Avenue! Morningside Drive is the WEST boundary of Morningside Park, and Morningside Avenue is the EAST boundary of Morningside Park.Also see the Related Links below for the zip code maps I used.
How do you say Drive as in Street in French?
La rue is the street. But you asked for French words? There is only one that means "street" but there are similar words (like in English) such as l'avenue (the avenue), le boulevard (the boulevard). But if you aren't talking about a specific street, use rue, just like in English, you wouldn't say "what boulevard do you live on?" you'd ask "what street.." but you would say "I live on Mountain Boulevard"
