Manhattan Street overview

https://youtu.be/V5da2rLyYCg

avenues run north and south - they are numbered east to west - 1 at
East River - 12 at Hudson River - some Aves have alternative names -
(iirc some Avenues are 1 way - ???)

5th Ave is the 0 location - it runs along the east side of central park

streets run east and west - they are narrower than the Avenues - all
are one way - even streets run to the east - odds streets run to the
west - (iirc most "Streets" have 1 travel lane plus 2 parking lanes)

Houston St - pronounced Husston St - is the 0 street I think - it is
pretty far south actually

there are some A B C D streets in the SE corner of Manhattan

Broadway is the only diagonal Street

--------------------

NYC Avenues seem to be much wider than any streets in Boston

not sure how many of the Streets are wide
