Manhattan address algorithm

The Manhattan address algorithm refers to the formulas used to estimate closest east–west cross street for building numbers on north–south avenues in the New York City borough of Manhattan.[1][2]

Algorithm

To find the approximate number of the closest cross street, divide the building number by a divisor (generally 20) and add (or subtract) the "magic number" from the table below:

Street/Avenue Building No. Divisor Magic No. (unrounded result)
Avenue A All ÷20 +3
Avenue B All ÷20 +3
