79th Street (Manhattan)
79th Street
is a major
two-way street
in the
Upper East Side
and
Upper West Side
of the
New York City
borough
of
Manhattan
. On the
Upper East Side
East 79th Street stretches from
East End Avenue
, passing the
New York Public Library, Yorkville Branch
, to
Fifth Avenue
, where the entrance to the 79th Street Transverse is flanked by Children's Gate. The transverse crosses
Central Park
; its exit at West
81st Street
on the
Upper West Side
is flanked by Hunters' Gate. 79th Street does not exist between
Central Park West
and
Columbus Avenue
, due to the superblock of Manhattan Square, largely occupied by the
American Museum of Natural History
. West of Columbus Avenue, 79th Street continues and terminates in
Riverside Park
at a traffic circle directly after the exit/entrance ramps for the
Henry Hudson Parkway
, under which sit the
