We don't do this numbered street thing very much in Australia and manage to get around ok.

Yea ok, but move to a numbered city and you notice the boost. I’ve lived in Melbourne, Sydney, and NYC and found Manhattan’s numbering is great.

Lower Manhattan also still has a large non-numbered area so you can get the old charm when you want it.

Only place I’ve ever seen it is the main stretch along Palm Beach on the Gold Coast

1st through 27th Avenues - they’re over 100 years old now funnily enough
