We are doing a 'Winter in NY' theme for our wedding and I am naming the table after the more famous street names of NYC. I need 17 names and have only 11. This is what I have : Broadway, 5th Ave, Park Ave, Lexington Ave, Madison Ave,Amsterdam Ave, Sutton Pl, Wall St, Mulberry St, Church St, & Fulton St. I was also thinking of using Rockefeller Plaza & Time Square. What do you all think. Any suiggestions for other names, or are there any on the list that you think we should not use. I am not the most familiar with the city, so any help would be great.

Re: NYC Street Names
if you use Times Square and Rockefeller Plaza you could also use Herald Square and Union Square or Gramercy Park, Washington Square Pare and Bryant Park. Other street names you could use are Bleecker, Spring, Prince, Delancey, Greenwich, St. Marks Place. Hope that helped!

Re: NYC Street Names
There are some in Greenwich Village, like Astor Place, Bleecker Street, Houston Street. Others might be 42nd Street, Central Park South (or West), Canal Street, Columbus Circle. If you get desperate, you could always use West Side Highway and FDR Drive!!

Re: NYC Street Names
I'd stick with just street names, but I'd also stay with ones that are more well known to people who aren't 'city folks'. Some of these were mentioned already but I suggest: Avenue of the Americas, 42nd Street, Riverside Drive, Canal Street, Delancy Street, Central Park West or South
Cute idea!
