counties=New York14th Street is a major crosstown street in the
New York City borough ofManhattan . The street rivals the size of some of the well-known avenues of the city and is an important business location.In the past 14th Street was an upscale location, but it lost some of its glamor and status as the city grew northward. At Broadway, 14th Street forms the southern border of Union Square. It is also considered the northern boundary of
Greenwich Village and the East Village, and the southern boundary of Chelsea, Flatiron/Lower Midtown, and Gramercy.Most importantly, however, 14th Street marks the southern terminus of Manhattan's grid system. North of 14th Street, the streets make up a near-perfect grid that runs in numerical order. South of 14th, in Greenwich Village and other areas in
Lower Manhattan , the grid breaks down and becomes scattered, and then nonexistent below Houston Street.Road description
