I'm clutching exactly US$26.00, feeling neither well nor clean,
and waiting for someone who, as usual, is late. Where am I?
Clue: Street name.
PS: If you're from New York, please feel free to settle once and for all whether this is in Harlem or Manhattan!

You are right, Memere! That is precisely what the song is about : )

Clue: Song is by a band whose chief songwriter went on to a long solo career.

Well done, Mandy, you are right! There's an interesting debate at:
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2386&
as to what Mr. Reed was actually referring to. It's funny how in big cities, the 'official zoning' and what residents call certain places is quite different. It's certainly true where I live! Great song, anyway : )

Easy...
You're waiting for your man!
Here he comes, hes all dressed in black
and he's in Manhattan.
