The
following chart is a New York City travel survival tool. Drop the last
figure of the address you are looking to find, divide by 2, and add or
subtract according to the chart below. The answer is the nearest
numbered cross street. (This formula does not apply to Broadway below
8th Street because of the many streets with names instead of numbers).
For example, use the address for NYC & Company's Official Visitor Information Center - 810 Seventh Avenue:
Drop the 0 and you have 81
Divide by 2 and get 40.5
Add 12 (according to chart)
40.5 + 12 = 52.5
The Official Visitor Information Center is located between 52nd and 53rd Street on 7th Avenue.
