Where is "Park Avenue?"?

Question

I always loved the Perry Mason theme song "Park Avenue Beat". I'm just curious where is Park Avenue. I imagine it's in New York, but is it the main street?

Answer 1

Park Avenue is one of the major north/south avenues in Manhattan. It's also one of the most attractive avenues due to the tree-lined median and the many ritzy apartment buildings that line the avenue. Many famous buildings such as the Met Life (former Pan Am) building and the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel are located on Park Avenue.

Park Avenue is parallel to 5th Avenue. It's debatable which road is the "main street" in the city. Some people would say Broadway is the main street. Others would say 5th Avenue. Others might say 42nd Street, and so on.

Answer 2

It is a major street (4 lanes in most parts) On the upper east side. It runs North to South and is inbetween 3rd/Lexington and Madison Avenue.

4th Avenue turns into Park Avenue South, which turns into Park Avenue.

(ps. I know and LOVE that song- but nobody I know has ever heard about it, I am glad to meet someone who does!)

Answer 3

Park Ave is between Lexington Avenue and Madison Ave in NYC on the East Side. It starts from l think 18th Street, and ends in the Bronx, I think around E 138 Street.

Answer 4

Park Avenue is a fashionable street on the east side of Manhattan.

Answer 5

Park Ave is a major north-south street, and believe it or not, is in every borough in NYC, one way or another.

The Manhattan Park Avenue is the best known street. It starts as Park Avenue South at the northeast corner of Union Square Park, by East 16th Street and Union Square East and runs north to East 32nd Street where the street name changes to the Park Ave as we know it. It runs all the way up to the Harlem River Drive, just south of West 135th Street where it is interrupted by the Harlem River waters, and then picks up again in the Bronx from East 138th Street all the way up to it's merge into 3rd Ave @ East 188th Street (near Fordham Road.). Metro-North rail service uses all of Park Ave from Grand Central to south of Fordham Station.

Then there are the other 3 Park Aves; in Brooklyn, Park Ave runs from Navy Street, underneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway for awhile up to Classon Ave, then continues on it's own to Broadway. (like Park Ave, every borough in NYC has it's own Broadway).

The Queens Park Ave was the original name before the massive street number replacement in the early 1900's. Park Ave is now 160th Street.

There is also a Park Ave in Staten Island too.

Answer 6

NYC Manhattan runs North & South
