The streets in NYC are numbered, and 5th ave makes east and west, west is towards Hudson river, and east towards East river.

In mManhattan the streets followed no sense of order until a plan was devised in 1812 to fix that. above 14th Street things are pretty regular with the numbered streets running east west and only numbered streets. The blocks are twenty to a mile. Fifth Ave divides east from west for the most part. Avenues run North South and are numbered from East to West, but there are exceptions Lexington and Madison Aves fit in between Third and Fourth, now Park , And Fourth and Fifth, respectively. These blocks are much longer than the blocks between streets. When you get above 57th street avenues start to be less regular. Names change and more avenues are introduced.

5th Avenue divides Manhattan into "west" and "east". An address that is "east" is lower than 5th avenue (e.g., 3rd Avenue, Park Avenue, Lexington Av)

Well, briefly, below 14th Street it's a maze of streets going every which way, but above 14th it's very orderly, with numbered streets from 14th all the way up to 220th or so, and it's all divided into East and West by the famous Fifth Avenue. Take a look at the map at the link, below and it will all make sense. Good luck!... ☺

The streets are numbered sequentially from south to north. For example, 57th Street is the street that is one block north of 56th Street and one block south of 58th Street. The part between the Hudson River and 5th Avenue is called "west". The part between 5th Avenue and the East River is called "east".

Here's a short list of jobs in the U.S., Canada and Europe which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 3. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 4. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 5. Visit your nearest beauty salon and ask to be trained as a shampoo person who is also willing to sweep up fallen hair on the ground and do set ups [arranging dye kits, curler holders, etc.] for a set hourly fee. 6. Become a sign flipper by contacting your nearest realtor. A flipper is someone who stands at a major intersection and flips a "For Lease/Rental" sign in order to attract visitors to an open house or to a particular real estate listing. The hourly pay is at least the minimum wage. 7. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time. Good luck!

The short answer is yes. You can flash any type of phone. AT&T and T-Mobile for example are based on GSM which is a technology used around the world. Sprint, Verison, Cricket, Altel, MetroPCS and others use a wireless standard called CDMA that is only found in the U.S. for the most part. You need to clarify what network you are talking about. I will take a guess and say you are asking about Metro PCS. If this is the case then the answer is no. MetroPCS is switching to a newer technology and in some markets (New York, NY being one of them) they already implemented it. So it is not that the phone that wont work because it is flashed but because it is CDMA and they Metro PCS in NYC does not use CDMA. Please specify the network you are talking about to receive a better answer. Metro PCS in NYC uses AWS not standard CDMA so you would need a triband CDMA phone. You can flash any CDMA phone to Metro regardless if the idiots who work there say you can or can't (AWS for NYC area Metro Network). I know I have done it for friends even though I personally have AT&T. Update: Since you added what type of phone it is, I can tell you the answer is no. It has nothing to do with the phone being flashed. The problem as I described above is that Metro PCS in NYC uses AWS technology. Your phone has to support this wirless protocol and yours does not.
