NYC Help?

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

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...

Also true, but there are huge areas of Manhattan that have no skyscrapers . . .
and plenty of trees. The Village, Chelsea, Little Italy, Chinatown, Lower East
Side. I spend weekends in Soho--on West Broadway (runs north and south). There
are lots of trees.
