Last week I was standing on the corner of 8th and 31st street, waiting to cross over 8th street. Just as I glanced right toward Madison Square Garden, a young woman walked up next to me wearing a retro 70's tongue shirt. I thought...it's a sign!

West 80th St is most certainly in Manhattan, it just doesn't intersect with 6th Ave. Mick and Ronnie both lived on the UWS in the 70's/80's (West 78th and West 83rd St's I believe). 6th Ave stops at Central Park on 59th St. 5th Ave divides Manhattan between East & West.Quote

...Always thought it was (the corner of) West 8th street ( & 6th avenue)...!?
West 80th street is not even on Manhattan - it's in Brooklyn.
(Nothing against Brooklyn - but to be fair: if "NYC" was mentioned and/or refered to during the 70's, everybody really meant Manhattan...)

Ah... OK. My bad!
Still - the songs says clearly - "standing on the corner of West 8...th(?!) street & 6th avenue", doesn't it?
And especially since there IS no corner of W80 & 6th, apparently, I still think he's saying W8...

8th [Avenue] & 31st Street... ???
How would you cross over 8th Street? That's 23 blocks downtown!
