East 83rd and Park Ave

Broadway meets all avenues but at 71st and Amsterdam  fuggeitaboutit

Doowop Johnny got the right avenue,but the wrong street.
from 28th street got the nearest street.
                   Answer is :  33rd. St. & Park Ave.

33rd.and 3rd would have been so New York

Charlie, absolutely right.  The city Traffic Department has tried a hundred ways to fix that intersection.  Nothing works.  It's still dangerous.  And 71st and Amsterdam is a mess.  The city is trying to fix that too.  Good luck with that! It's a confusing mess.

.....and (from Wikipedia) Queens Blvd is call "The Boulevard of Death" and "The Boulevard of Broken Bones." From 1993 to 2000, 72 pedestrians were killed trying to cross the street, an average of 10.2 per year, with countless more injuries.

Since 2001, at least partially in response to major news coverage of the danger, the city government has taken measures to cut down on such incidents, including posting large signs proclaiming that "A Pedestrian Was Killed Crossing Here" at intersections where fatal accidents have occurred and installing more road-rule enforcement cameras.

Out here in Missouri, a guy who lived in the country was getting tired of having deer killed in front of his house, so he called the county and asked them to move the "DEER CROSSING" sign a mile down the road.....TRUE story
