West 46th Street Block Association, Inc.

Poem by Resident and Member Shep H. Greenberg

How to Get to West 46 Street

A Public Service of the West Forty-sixth Street Block Association, a disinterested party.

To West 46th Street, you simply go forth

Start at West 45th, and head one block north.

Or (read my lips and watch my mouth)
Start at West 47th and head one block south.

Or start in the Bronx, the Broadway IRT
Going south to Times Square gets you closer to we.

Walk four blocks from there, in straight-line precision

If you see 38th Street, simply reverse your decision.

From Fifth to the Hudson, West Forty-sixth Street, it ranges

Walk on East 46th til the "east" part, it changes.

If it doesn't change and you're in the East River water

Reverse your direction; you really should oughta.

There's an easier way to get in your licks.

Just hail a taxi and say "West 46th".
The cab will head here at, hopefully, a good clip

And to your delight, you'll see we were worth the whole trip.

From elegant shopping, as you walk west from Fifth

To the Skyscrapers of Business as you get closer to Sixth.

Theater and Dining, as to Eighth Ave you go.

Then head on to Ninth along "Restaurant Row".

Residences and miscellany make known their presence

As you wend your way down from Ninth to Eleventh.

And you end Forty-sixth with the grace of a leopard

At the Hudson, with the sleek form of the majestic Intrepid.

We hope you enjoy your little 46th Street tour

Sightseeing and Dining and Theater and more.

Talk to Residents and Owners; just anyone will do

And you'll find us as friendly and knowledgeable as you.

We joked at the start about how we can be found

But here, at the end, we think we're worth coming 'round.

We hope you'll find your visit neat
Enjoying the Day, and our City, and Street.
