    "It's right near Duane Reade" is perfect for anything in Manhattan, and probably truthful.

    Actually, if you type "366 Fifth Avenue New York" into Google, it will give you a map with a green arrow pointing right to the location.

    I think you can also click on that for street view, but I'm not sure about that.

    Just for the record, the citizens of Cowshitistan, collectively, have no idea that there's a place on earth where address numbers correlate with cross streets. Were you to tell us, some of us might not believe you. We're less urban in our sensibilities. In fact, here in the capital city of Bullflopibad, the downtown area is an ongoing theater of overwhelmed drivers. Wrong way on a one-way is sadly common. Even for those who understand arrows, the mere presence of one-way streets is enough to destroy one's confidence in God's creation. One-way streets are effete, Frenchified, a Yankee conceit, an open invitation to atheism and ass-buggery.

    Other downtown-driving phenomena include stopping where there's no stop sign, disregarding existing stop signs, stopping to turn, menacing pedestrians and finally- good, old-fashioned stopping in the middle of the road for no reason. Usually, that's a symptom of psychic meltdown caused by the combination of one-way streets and the proximity of a few low-rise office buildings.

    Y'all motorists don't fergit to scare the shit out of that boy on the bicycle by honking frantically to say "hello" to your friend in the other gigantic truck two lanes over (that you just saw at the cafeteria 15 minutes ago)!

    Went to NYC in '99 and someone tried to explain the formula to me.

    But I come from a small hick town which struggled when our beloved downtown square was changed to a roundabout.
