Ludlow and Stanton, PLEASE!!

Tonight I took a cab from work to my friends' concert tonight:

Me: "Ludlow - between Stanton and Rivington, please"
Cabbie: "Downtown?"
Me: "Yes, please."
Cabbie: "Can I take broadway?"

- The cab driver pulls over on broadway -

Me: "No, Ludlow and Stanton please. You said broadway."
Cabbie: "Can I take broadway?"
Me: "Please take 5th so we don't go through union square"

-10 minutes later, the cabbie tries to drop me off at union square -

Me: "Uh, Ludlow and Stanton, please!"
Cabbie: "Ludlow."
Me: "Yes, please just keep going downtown. Turn left on Houston"
Cabbie: "Houston?"
Me: "LUDLOW, please!!"

There are some days when I actually miss driving. Today was one of them.
