NYU Local • NYC Tip: Avoiding the Oldest Sidewalk Scams in the City. On average, every NYU student is scammed at least 2.46 times during his or her college career. Yes, I just made that statistic up. But no, I’m not talking about sketchy emails from Nigeria asking for just a few thousand dollars.
Instead, we’re perpetually prone to the top scammers in New York, where they’re much more convincing and most often do their work on (you guessed it) the sidewalk — kind of like GreenPeace, except without the peace.

Most streets and avenues in Manhattan are organized in a grid. Streets run East-West across the island and are often called cross-streets while avenues run North-South up and down the island. TYPTip: Knowing the nearest cross-street and avenue of an address is important. For example it determines which bus or subway line to use, it gives you an indication of how far away a restaurant or shop might be, and it is very helpful if you can give a cab driver the exact location for an address. If you tell a driver to take you to 56th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, he/she will know exactly where to go. Finding the nearest avenue from a street address north of 8th Street 1) Fifth Avenue divides Manhattan street addresses into East and West. An example: The address 240 west 16th Street is between 7th and 8th Avenues because it is 2 blocks east of 5thAvenue. Finding the nearest cross street from an avenue address.
