This doesn't look like much other than maybe a driveway or alley between two buildings. But indeed it is Edens Alley, a street in Lower Manhattan off of Gold Street, it's the shortest in the borough. But it doesn't get a lot of attention.

“Not at all, and we work around the corner, no,” confirmed one resident.

The area did receive attention from Author James Sullivan who spent a lot of time there studying the city's Rat population for his book called, you guessed it, rats. Thankfully we didn't see any on this particular occasion.

Brooklyn's Shortest Street is located and actually basically stops at the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, in Brooklyn Heights. It runs between Vine Street and Doughty Street near an auto repair place and residential building.

To track down the shortest street in Queens, we ventured to Far Rockaway to Moss Place, which is short, but made even shorter on the city map, because half of it is in Queens, the other half in the Nassau County Village of Lawrence.

Zev Bald and daughter Leba showed me exactly where Queens Moss Place ends, before it starts again in Nassau County.

"It's cut in the middle, right in the middle, there's the village speed limit. During the winter they only shovel the snow, Nassau only shovels until Nassau, then they skip Queens and only shovel until Nassau," said Zev Bald, a Moss Place Resident.

Staten Island's Shortest Street is probably the quietest two, Otsego Street in the Sunnyside Neighborhood off of Little Clove Road, named for the upstate New York County where the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown is located; we couldn't even find a house with an Otsego Avenue address.

Our final short street would be in the Bronx, where we found a bit of a surprise. It was located at SUNY Maritime College near the Throggs Neck Bridge, definitely the best view of any of the streets we visited.

But just to give you an idea how short all these streets are, the city's longest street, Broadway, goes just over 16 miles. These streets all added together are only 386 feet long.
