How "Fifth Avenue"[edit]

The least trivial aspect here is omitted: how was the fake "Fifth Avenue" address finagled for 2 East 86th Street?--Wetman (talk) 19:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Change made.Jarhed (talk) 20:47, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well done. Thanks.--Wetman (talk) 17:26, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carnegie Hill[edit]

Even with "Carnegie Hill" stretched as far as 86th Street, a building on the south side of 86th Street is still not in Carnegie Hill. Neither is Neue Galerie on the corner. Even the most grossly inflated real estate "neighborhood" has some limits. Otherwise, why not include Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is right there in the same turf as 1049 5th Avenue? --Wetman (talk) 02:17, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has been years since I have been there, and I have to admit that I was confusing Carnegie Hill with the location of the Guggenheim. Thanks for your thoughtful edit.Jarhed (talk) 22:21, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
