  Gas-like odor permeates parts of Manhattan, New Jersey - Boston.com
The gas-like odor, which permeated much of Manhattan and parts of New Jersey on Monday morning and also disrupted mass transit, left unanswered questions in its wake.
The smell was reported as far downtown as Battery Park City, where the management at one apartment building shut off the outside air supply and advised tenants to close their windows.
Across the Hudson River in Jersey City, Maria Pignataro, the spokeswoman for Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy, said officials were told the odor in their city was due to a gas leak in Manhattan.

  Ninth Avenue (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ninth Avenue / Columbus Avenue is a north-south thoroughfare on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City.
Ninth Avenue originates just south of West 14th Street at Gansevoort Street in the West Village, and runs uptown (northbound) for 45 blocks until its intersection with West 59th Street, where it is re-signed (like the other West Side avenues) as Columbus Avenue—named after Christopher Columbus—but continues without interruption.
The roadway continues as Columbus Avenue for 61 blocks to West 110th Street, where it is re-signed as Morningside Drive, running nine blocks along the crest of Morningside Park and then curving west for a block until the intersection of Amsterdam Avenue (Tenth Avenue) where it is re-signed as West 122nd Street Seminary Row.

 Lexington Avenue (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lexington Avenue is an avenue on the East Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City that carries southbound one-way traffic from East 131st Street to Gramercy Park at East 21st Street.
Lexington Avenue was not one of the streets included in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 street grid, and thus does not also have a numerical designation, and the addresses for cross streets do not start at an even Hundred number.
Lexington Avenue is named for the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battle of the American Revolutionary War.

 Plots & Plans: General Theological Seminary plans new tower on Ninth Avenue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The northern part of the frontage along the avenue would be used by the seminary’s bookstore, but Robert Trentline, a Chelsea resident, argued at the meeting last night that it should be used for major high-end retail space that would bring the seminary more money and permit it to build a less tall building.
The solution also limits the height of the new tower is the same as an apartment building across the avenue, a not irrational approach albeit one that still irked many community residents professing to be concerned about the neighborhood's precious "light and air" as opposed to their own views or draw-up-the-drawbridge mentality (a.k.a.
Most speakers, on both sides of the proverbial fence, at the community meeting seemed to agree that the seminary's existing building along Ninth Avenue is less than inspired and the seminary's speakers make a strong case for the need to restore and maintain their older buildings.

 The Porkchop Express
The restaurant 5 Ninth, conveniently located on 5 Ninth Avenue in Manhattan's chic meatpacking district.

But the draw here is different: the scene, the surroundings, the friendly servers and smooth service, the straight-faced preparation of goofy cocktails, the self-conscious cool of a dark-lit, smoke-free bar.

When the 6th Avenue IND was connected to the el in 1954 with new construction, the Culver between 9th Avenue and Ditmas Avenue was orphaned.
