Hi Infoshare,
I am new to the city, so I may be the only one who doesn't know
about this handy feature, but I'll share it anyway in hopes that
this is, indeed, a hidden treasure. I recently learned, from a
blind couple, that there is an address translator on NYC's website
that will tell you where any address in the city is. For example,
I entered my address, and it told me (correctly) that it is between
2nd and 1st Avenues on the right side of the street if you're
walking toward 1st Avenue. It also has information like which
district the address is in and all sorts of political info like
that. This will be huge for me, because it means that whenever I
am going somewhere new, I'll know for sure what side of the street
it's on. I happen to have a gps program that does this, too, but
sometimes it's wrong.
I hope others will find this useful, as well, and please see the
link below my signature.
