[edit] One block, or not
While perhaps more visible, the block adjacent to Broadway is seems not to be the only "block". The new Chase bank branch lists its address as 26 Astor Place, and Cooper Union Engineering Building has been 51 Astor Place since it opened. Astor Place seems to stop existing at Third Avenue.
Eighth Street is the one that disappears, vanishing into Astor place, then morphing into St. Marks Place, before reappearing over on Avenue B on the other side of Tompkins Square Park.
[edit] The Alamo
The Alamo has been returned to its place in Astor Place. I don't know if that means that the information about its removal is unnecessary or what, but it should be noted that it is no longer missing.
[edit] Historic Places
I thought a few more places might be in order.

[edit] Public Theater
Sometime lines for tickets for the Shakespeare Festival stretch around Astor Place, so I thought an external link to the Public Theater might be nice.
