	First Avenue (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First Avenue is a north-south thoroughfare on the East Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan, running from Houston Street northbound for over 125 blocks before terminating at the Willis Avenue Bridge into The Bronx at the Harlem River near East 127th Street.
		Leaving the East Village First Avenue runs by a succession of large urban development projects that sit on what used to be a working industrial waterfront: Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, two middle income housing developments, the Bellevue Hospital Center complex, and then, the United Nations complex.
		First Avenue crosses the Harlem River at 127th Street via the Willis Avenue Bridge and becomes Willis Avenue in the Bronx.
