You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.206.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Avenue B''' is a north–south avenue located in the [[Alphabet City, Manhattan|Alphabet City]] area of the [[East Village, Manhattan|East Village]] neighborhood of [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]], east of [[Avenue A (Manhattan)|Avenue A]] and west of [[Avenue C (Manhattan)|Avenue C]]. It runs from [[Houston Street (Manhattan)|Houston Street]] to [[14th Street (Manhattan)|14th Street]], where it continues into a loop road in [[Stuyvesant Town]], to be connected with [[Avenue A (Manhattan)|Avenue A]]. Below Houston Street, Avenue B continues as Clinton Street to [[South Street (Manhattan)|South Street]]. It is the eastern border of [[Tompkins Square Park]].

==History==
The street was created by the [[Commissioners' Plan of 1811]] as one of 16 north-south streets specified as ((convert|100|feet)) in width, including 12 numbered avenues and four designated by letter located east of [[First Avenue (Manhattan)|First Avenue]].<ref>[[Gouverneur Morris|Morris, Gouverneur]]; [[Simeon De Witt|De Witt, Simeon]]; and [[John Rutherfurd|Rutherford, John]] ((sic)) (March 1811) [http://urbanplanning.library.cornell.edu/DOCS/nyc1811.htm "Remarks Of The Commissioners For Laying Out Streets And Roads In The City Of New York, Under The Act Of April 3, 1807"], [[Cornell University Library]]. Accessed June 27, 2016. "These are one hundred feet wide, and such of them as can be extended as far north as the village of Harlem are numbered (beginning with the most eastern, which passes from the west of Bellevue Hospital to the east of Harlem Church) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. This last runs from the wharf at Manhattanville nearly along the shore of the Hudson river, in which it is finally lost, as appears by the map. The avenues to the eastward of number one are marked A, B, C, and D."</ref> In 1824, prior to any construction, its width was reduced to ((convert|60|feet)), the standard for cross-streets, by taking ((convert|40|feet)) from the east side.<ref>((cite book |last=Post |first=John J. |title=Old streets, roads, lanes, piers and wharves of New York showing the former and present names, together with a list of alterations of streets, either by extending, widening, narrowing or closing |publisher=R.D. Cooke |year=1882 |oclc=1098350361 |page=67))</ref> The city reasoned that the lettered avenues were "incapable of use as thoroughfares to and from the City" and could not "be considered as avenues in the proper Sense of the term."<ref>((citation |title=Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1784-1831 |chapter=In Common Council August 4th 1823 |publisher=M.B. Brown Print. & Binding Co. |year=1917 |volume=XIII |oclc=39817642 |page=201 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0PxMAAAAMAAJ))</ref>

==East End Avenue==
On the [[Upper East Side]], Avenue B reappears as '''East End Avenue'''; principally residential in character, it runs only from East [[79th Street (Manhattan)|79th Street]] to East [[90th Street (Manhattan)|90th Street]] through the [[Yorkville, Manhattan|Yorkville]] neighborhood. It was called Avenue B under the original Commissioners' Plan of 1811, but is no longer given that designation. [[Carl Schurz Park]], the location of [[Gracie Mansion]], is adjacent to the avenue at this point. In 1928, the [[New York City Board of Estimate]] ruled that development below East 84th Street was restricted to residential use.<ref>((cite book |last=Leahy |first=Michael |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W2onYcLQja8C&dq=east+end+avenue&pg=PA18 |title=If You're Thinking of Living In…: All About 115 Great Neighborhoods In & Around New York |location=New York |publisher=Random House |year=2007|isbn=9780307421074 ))</ref>

==Landmarks==
* The [[Christodora House]], a former women's [[Settlement House]] and now a condominium, is located on Avenue B at [[9th Street (Manhattan)|9th Street]].
* The [[Charlie Parker Residence]] at 151 Avenue B between 9th and [[10th Street (Manhattan)|10th]] Streets, where jazz musician [[Charlie Parker|Charlie "Bird" Parker]] lived from 1950 to 1954, is a [[New York City landmark]].<ref>((cite nycland)), p.69</ref>
* [[Gracie Mansion]], a New York City landmark and official residence of the mayor of New York City, is located on East End Avenue at 88th Street.

==Transportation==
Currently, there is no bus that travels on Avenue B. The M9 bus formerly used this street from East Houston Street to 14th Street. The M9 now travels on Avenue C from Houston to [[23rd Street (Manhattan)|23rd]] Streets. The M79 bus travels along East End Avenue from 80th Street to 79th Street.

==In popular culture==
* In 1922 [[Fanny Brice]] recorded "The Sheik of Avenue B", a parody of "[[The Sheik of Araby]]" written by [[Harry Ruby]] and [[Bert Kalmar]]<ref>[https://www.loc.gov/jukebox/recordings/detail/id/9009/ "The Sheik of Avenue B"] on the [[Library of Congress]] National Jukebox</ref>
* In [[Jonathan Larson]]'s musical ''[[Rent (musical)|Rent]]'', most of the characters live on Avenue B and [[11th Street (Manhattan)|11th Street]]
* In 1983 [[Pierce Turner]], [[Larry Kirwan]] and Thomas Hamlin wrote "Avenue B (is the place to be)", which was recorded by their band Major Thinkers
* A 1999 [[Iggy Pop]] album is entitled ''Avenue B'', written while he was living at [[Christodora House]]
* A song by [[The Fleshtones]] entitled ''Take a Walk with the Fleshtones'' on their album ''Beautiful Light'' describes the street scene, starting at "Eleven Eleven" with the chorus repeating "...on Avenue B"

* Several scenes from the 1986 film "[[Crocodile Dundee]]" were filmed in and around a bar located at 108 Avenue B where that street intersects with [[7th Street (Manhattan)|East 7th Street]], otherwise known as [[Tompkins Square]].
* On [[Lou Reed]]'s 1989 album ''New York'', the song "Halloween Parade" includes the line "The boys from Avenue B, the girls from Avenue D, a Tinkerbell in tights." The song is about the ravages of AIDS, using the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade as a backdrop.
* On [[Cop Shoot Cop]]'s 1994 ''Release'', the song "It Only Hurts When I Breathe" references the corner of Avenue B and 3rd Street.
