The only one that jumps out at me for NYC is Houston St.

It's pronounced how-ston, not the same pronunciation like the city in Texas.

we also have Spadina Ave. and Spadina House that are pronounced differently. - Andie May 24, 15:22
that's a big one. Maybe also Bed Stuy? -- nm - loosilu May 24, 15:15 2
- Chris Rock helped popularize the right pronounciation of that. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 15:34
- Possibly. I guess if you've heard of Peter Stuyvesant than you'd pronounce it right. Otherwise I could see it being said wrong. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 15:21
