Night Owl's Manhattan Address Finder

I'm dreaming of the right address --
Just like the one I used to know --
Where the streetlights glisten
And intuition
Says I'm near where I want to go....
[sung to the tune of "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin]

There's a system in Manhattan for figuring out the arithmetic of our avenues. Here it is. Always drop the last figure, divide by 2, then add or subtract -- as indicated below. The answer you get is the nearest numbered cross street.
