LG,
Simply, he couldn't have been at anyplace on EAST 23rd near the 1/9. On 23rd, East starts at 5th Ave ( and don't say it starts at 5th everywhere, because that's not true ). There is no address between 5th and Broadway. A good portion of the next block ( Broadway - Madison ) on the South is a large Condiminium which actually is on East 22nd Street with only stores on 23rd, and a few buildings where I happen to know there are not AMP's, and on the North is Madison Square Park ( no AMP's there ), . From Madison to Park you've got the Met Life Building on the North side ( again, no AMP's in there ! ), on the South side, there are a few small loft buildings where I guess there could be an AMP which I don't know about, but don't think so, and a large office building with a Park Ave address where I know there are no AMP's. Even if we were talking about one of those small buildings which I'm not sure about, why would you describe the location as "near the 1/9", when it's 1/2 block from the 6, and 4 blocks from the 1/9 ? And once you get to Park, you would actually have to pass the 6 to get to the 1/9, so I can't imagine the description fitting.
Therefore, I stand by my original comment:
"Yesterday I tried an asian place on E 23rd st near the 1/9 subway"
I doubt it
