'Avenue A' runs from north to south and is the beginning of the avenues to be defined by letters instead of using the numbering system in the
New York City borough of
Manhattan. Avenue A runs from
Houston Street to
14th Street, where it continues into a loop road in
Stuyvesant Town, connecting to
Avenue B. Below Houston Street, Avenue A continues as
Essex Street.
It is considered to be the beginning of
Alphabet City in the
East Village. It is also the western border of
Tompkins Square Park.
