Waverly Place

Waverly Place is a narrow street in the Greenwich Village section of New York City, in the borough of Manhattan. It is unique amongst city streets in that Waverly changes direction roughly at its midpoint, turning from a north-by-northwest/south-by-southeast street to a northwest/southeast street. Far more unusual is the fact that at the intersection where this transition occurs, "three" different stretches of Waverly Place meet. That is, Waverly Place has a portion that is Y-shaped.

It was named after Sir Walter Scott's novel "Waverley" in 1833. Its name is used in the Disney series "Wizards of Waverly Place", which is set in the neighborhood.
