Queens also has the impossible-to-figure-out street naming. Toany given number you can affix street, avenue, lane, drive, etc. and it'll exist. > brooklyn on the other hand is considered one large city and you use > brooklyn in the address. manhatten is addressed as new york, ny (so nice > they had to name it twice!) even though it is only one of 5 boroughs of > nyc. This, however, is a bit off. Manhattan (that's with all 'a's, you know...) is designated New York in addressing because it's New York county (Broolyn being Kings, Staten Island being Richmond and Queens and the Bronx actually having their borough and county names being the same). I'm not sure if it's unique, but New York is certainly unusual in being a city made up of counties instead of vice versa. dha -- David H.
