How does the street grid work in Manhattan, NYC USA?  How do you figure out the cross street?

Huh? How does it work? It lays there and you walk on it i guess...\n\nthe best way to figure out the cross st is to look at the sign. i guess it's easier because the streets are numbered (see below). but that doesn't stop tourists from getting lost. so i guess the surefire way to figure out the cross st is to look at a map. example: buy one or go to a subway station and look at theirs. \n\nthe overall grid is composed of numbered streets and numbered and lettered avenues. numbers of streets are smaller the further south you go (toward downtown) and get bigger going north (uptown). the avenue numbers are larger in the west and smaller in the east. further east past first avenue, there are avenues demarked by letter (Avenue A, B, C)\n\ndowntown past first st is still generally grid patterned, but slightly less so -- more alleys, diagnols, sts not at perfect right angles, etc. \n\nthe streets have names, as in most other towns. since downtown was what was first settled, some street names paint a picture of how downtown manhattan looked when it first started as a dutch settlement. wall st. and canal st. are named after an actuall wall and canal. \n\nThe grid plan was formulated in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, when most of the grid wasn't even settled. some of the few houses in the relative wilderness beyond downtown were actually in the middle of where streets were supposed to be. instead of building roads around these houses, the government stuck to their gridpattern vision and actaily bought out the people who owned these house. \n\nhere is a source on grid patterns in genera;:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_plan\n\nalso, if you have digital cable, watch "We built this city: New York" -- i think its on the discovery times channel.

Voltage across parallel circuts is always the same, so 7V. The current, however will be split (if the lamps are exactly identical, split in half between them).\n\nSeries circuits are the other way. Voltage is different, current is the same.\n\nThis is a consequence of Kirchoff's laws. Kirchoff's law says that all the current going into a node must equal the current going out of the node (conservation of energy, really). And also, the voltage drops around a loop must equal. Common sense really. There can't be any extra (or deficit) current or voltage.

Chicago was built on a grid system with a "major" street every half mile and four blocks every 1/2 mile.  This would make most of the standard city blocks in Chicago 1/8 mile long and 1/8 mile wide.  There are some areas of downtown Chicago where the blocks are 1/16 mile long.  But the vast majority of the city has 1/8 mile blocks.

This is the maidenhead grid system. BL11 is Molokai Hawaii!\n\nhttp://www.icomamerica.com/downloads/usgridsq.pdf\n\nLook on page 2.

The house numbers are related to the block number in the city, or suburb. So, your block is number 12000. Also, there are probably a lot more Oak St. (unless you live in a small town) than just yours... so, the city made your numbers as they are to refrain from getting mail mixed up... \n\nAccording to Wikipedia, "In much of North America, buildings are not numbered according to a simple sequence but rather according to distance from a given baseline. As a result, four- and five-digit addresses are common. Odd numbers are typically on one side of the street, evens on the other. In cities with a grid pattern of streets, addresses often increase by 100 for each cross street. Addresses may also correlate with a street-numbering system."\n\n\nHope I helped... but you can always ask the city, too... somehow

After several attempts, it seems that it is rather impossible.  If you start in the bottom corner, you can get all but 3 squares rather easily.  If you're careful, you can have 1 remaining if you start diagonal to the corner.\n\nWhat are you trying to do this for?  Is it a website?  I'd love to try it again.

I like Microsoft Streets and Trips.  By adding stops at the right intersections you can force it to route on the back roads you want to use.  It will even show you grocery store, restaurants etc. within a chosen distance of your route.\n\nI do use it for back roads bicycle touring.\n\nMy local library has a copy for loan.  You might want to check yours.

Not safe and not that close..Harlem is too far north from NYU. Queens is also too far north from it too.\nI would check out Brooklyn..technically it is over the river from Manhattan and right across from downtown where NYU is. The subway wouldn't be that long.probably 5-10 minutes.  New Jersey may be another bet though. It is south like Brooklyn and not far from downtown Manhattan (where NYU is)

Your question is slightly ambiguous. However, in electronics, a node is a joint where two or more electrical lines meet (like a junction). I am not sure what a netmap is, but I could speculate that a net is what some would call a mesh. From Wikipedia: "For planar networks the meshes are the “windows” formed when the network is drawn with no branches crossing. Formally, a mesh is a circuit loop that does not enclose any elements. It is not always possible to identify a mesh current with a single branch current, and so it is not always possible to directly measure a mesh current."

Sure.  There was a recent Transit strike in NY, and all of the numbers were tallied.  I would contact the Port Authority.  However, the quickest way might be to call the "Help" desk for the Borough of Manhattan, or even better, call the Mayors Office (People are generally suprised to find out that calls are answered promptly and courteously.) At the very least, they'll refer you to the right place.  Good Luck.

Just so you know, the traffic light times vary from intersection to intersection in most cities.  They vary by the size of the intersection, the amount of traffic normally expected, and the time of day.  \n\nSome modern traffic lights do not even have assigned times.  Sensors placed in the street determine when traffic is waiting and the light system adapts.

Ok...you guys got this all wrong.  Voltage doesn't travel.\nThis is simple:\n\nSeries:\nAll series stuff see the same current\n\nParallel:\nAll parallel stuff see the same voltage

OS maps with contours will do the trick to a reasonable accuracy. If you want real accuracy you will need to level to the nearest OS bench mark or get a GPS reading from an instrument which gives height as well as grid location.\n\nFurther info after reading another answer.\nI am talking about UK here where the ground levels can change quite dramatically from street to street unlike the previous US respondant who must live in a very flat area of the States.

no, by definition equipotential lines will always run parallel to each other. That is when they are close together. So they can never cross.

Purchase or ask for a marta map. When I moved to NYC a few years ago that really helped me. I just used the map and would actually walk and ride the buses and trains. You can also go online and get a map from the transportation website they have. It's called MARTA so just look it up!
