How many New York City blocks is it to the Apollo Theater from LREI?
(The Apollo Theater is located at 125th Street in Harlem)
This problem seemed easy enough until Tasha’s second grade realized that the West Village, where LREI is located, isn’t laid out in an organized city grid system, like the rest of Manhattan is. An interesting math problem ensued, and the class enlisted Nick, LREI’s resident historian to help us understand why the streets in the West Village are so confusing!
