Sorry, those are the station names: 33rd Street, 42nd Street (/Grand Central, because that stop is at a railway terminal), 51st Street. 59th Street, 68th Street (/Hunter College), 77th Street, 86th Street, 96th Street, 103rd Street, 110th Street. Here's a map of just that subway line; the "relevant" part starts slightly below the black bar labeled "Manhattan."
I read about this long enough ago that if you were riding the subway you were likely to have a copy of the paper map of the entire system, which were given away free at every token booth. Now, fewer people bother carrying any sort of map, but the smartphones that will also calculate things like "what's 47 Fahrenheit in C?"
The approximate conversion works because the stations on that stretch are about 9 blocks apart, if you start at 33rd Street. The line (6/Lexington Avenue Local, the south end of which is the oldest part of the New York subway system) starts at Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall but the stops below 33rd don't work for converting temperatures below freezing because the station intervals are different: south of 33rd it's 28th, 23rd, 14th (and then Astor Place, Bleecker Street, Spring Street, Canal Street, City Hall, which wouldn't be useful even if the intervals were right.
I think that's at least as much as you wanted to hear, but if not, by all means ask and I will go on further about the NY subway system. (The icon I'm using here is based on a NY subway train using cars of a design that's no longer in service.)
