46th Street, one of the north–south numbered streets of the Queens grid.
In Queens, Streets run north–south and are numbered from the borough's western border, rising eastwards, while Avenues run east–west. The grid came with a massive renaming and renumbering in the 1910s and 1920s. Before it, Astoria, Jackson Heights and Woodside each had their own street numbers, which confused the Post Office.
