American cities have been built on ... regular plan, modified a little according to ... natural surroundings, .. streets in ... American cities, instead of having ... names, are numbered, and so when one has once understood ... plan of ... American city, it is very easy to find one's way from one part of it to ... other. ... old part of ... New York lies in ... south­ern half of ... Manhattan Island, and there ... streets are narrow and twisted, as in ... towns of. ... old world. But ... rest of ... streets, with but few ex­ceptions, all run in ... straight lines. There is оле street in ... city, however, that does not follow ... straight line. And that is Broadway, ... New York's most famous street.
