a member, right?) Often, either Signature or Millionair will give you a
free night's parking if you fill up. Ask them to drive you to the bus
stop,
or walk if the weather's nice. It's a 15 minute hike. The bus will
take
you directly to the Port Authority at 42nd and 4th.

Isn't the Port Authority bus terminal on the west side, somewhere around
40th and 8th?


LOL... yep.. there is no 4th avenue. The avenues in midtown go like this
(list is from east to west):

York
1st
2nd
3rd
Lexington
Park
Madison
5th
6th
7th
8th
9th
10th
11th

Don't forget Broadway, slicing through the grid. Depending on where in
Midtown you are, there's also 12th, and a tiny bit of Dyer.

6th avenue *is* Avenue of the Americas, just like 7th is Fashion Ave.

There is a 4th Avenue down on the Lower East Side, however--at about 13th
Street.
Photo-Tech Camera repair is at that intersection . . . best camera repair shop
in NY.

East End Avenue is east of York on the upper east side, from 79th street to
about 88th street. That's where Gracie Mansion is, the mayor's official
residence (and where this billionaire mayor doesn't live).

Again, I said 'the avenues in *midtown*' not the upper east side.

And New York is a rare city in that its avenues run north and south.

Avenues are supposed to be roads lined with trees, and the best sun
for that comes if the road runs west and east... which is the way of
most cities.

Rare? I don't know about that. The entire Puget Sound area uses the
convention that avenues are north/south and streets are east/west.
Practically all the cities here use that convention, including Seattle, so
I'd hardly call a city that uses that convention "rare". There must be a
hundred or more cities around here that do.

This far north, you're lucky to get any sun at all at ground level on one of the
streets at anything besides high summer. At least the avenues will get sun several
hours a day.

Trees? In NYC? Besides the parks, I don't think so. Trees don't grow well
in the pavement between skyscrapers...
