Theborough ofManhattan inNew York City contains 214 numbered east–west streets ranging from 1st to 228th, the majority of them designated in theCommissioners' Plan of 1811. These streets do not run exactly east–west, because thegrid plan is aligned with theHudson River, rather than with thecardinal directions. Thus, the majority of the Manhattan grid's "west" is approximately 29 degrees north of true west; the angle differs above 155th Street, where the grid initially ended. The grid now covers the length of the island from14th Street north.

All numbered streets carry an East or West prefix – for example, East 10th Street or West 10th Street – which is demarcated atBroadway below8th Street, and atFifth Avenue at 8th Street and above. The numbered streets carry crosstown traffic. In general, but with numerous exceptions, even-numbered streets are one-way eastbound and odd-numbered streets are one-way westbound. Most wider streets, and a few of the narrow ones, carry two-way traffic.

Although the numbered streets begin just north of EastHouston Street in theEast Village, they generally do not extend west intoGreenwich Village, which already had established, named streets when the grid plan was laid out by theCommissioners' Plan of 1811. Some streets in that area that do continue farther west change direction before reaching the Hudson River.

The highest numbered street on Manhattan Island is 220th Street, butMarble Hill is also within the borough of Manhattan, so the highest street number in the borough is 228th Street. The numbering system continues inthe Bronx, up to 263rd Street, though east ofVan Cortlandt Park the system ends at 243rd Street.^[1] The lowest numbered street in Manhattan is East 1st Street, which runs throughAlphabet City near East Houston Street. There are also three streets numbered as First, Second and Third Place inBattery Park City.

East 1st Street begins just north of EastHouston Street atAvenue A and continues to theBowery.Peretz Square, a small triangular sliver park where Houston Street, First Street andFirst Avenue meet marks the spot where the grid takes hold.^[2]

East 2nd Street begins just north of East Houston Street atAvenue C and also continues to the Bowery. The east end of East 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th streets isAvenue D, with East 6th Street continuing further eastward and connecting to theFDR Drive.

The west end of most of these streets is the Bowery andThird Avenue, except for 3rd Street (formerly Amity Place), which continues toSixth Avenue; and 4th Street, which extends west and then north to 13th Street inGreenwich Village.Great Jones Street connects East 3rd to West 3rd.

West 8th Street is an important local shopping street. 8th Street between Avenue A and Third Avenue is called St Mark's Place, but it is counted in the length below.
