"Park" is just as easy to say as "4th." "Avenue of the Americas" is a mouthful.

True, but I don't think the length of the name was a big factor to the OP above. Park is Fourth, and was rebranded to bring people back to the corridor once the steam trains were removed and reduce the historical bad image it had.

Complexity is for sure why I don't say Avenue of the Americas
