103rd Road, 103rd Avenue, 103rd Drive And 103rd Street

People are always saying anecdotally that Queens’ street numbering system is confusing — now we have proof:

New immigrant Damon Mootoo had been in New York for less than a day when he faced one of the city’s toughest challenges: navigating the confusing streets of Queens.

Mootoo spent five long, cold days wandering Jamaica after he got lost during a walk and was too intimidated to ask strangers how to get home. Mootoo, 32, was rescued yesterday by a kindhearted churchgoer who spotted him shivering on a Queens street and gave him food and water.

“I want to go home,” Mootoo said last night after his stressful misadventure. “I’m thinking about going back to Guyana.”

Mootoo got lost Wednesday, less than 12 hours after arriving in New York for the first time, when he left his brother’s South Jamaica house to stretch his legs.

He was being treated last night at Jamaica Hospital for the dehydration and frostbite he suffered in the frigid air.

“When we saw him, he was just crying,” said Mootoo’s brother Mark Miller, 43. “He said, ‘I’m glad to see you.'”
