During parades, there is a Sidewalk Side and a Neutral Ground Side. The Neutral Ground Side is the (usually) grassy median running between lanes of traffic on an avenue - also where the streetcar tracks are. The Sidewalk Side is the side with... The sidewalk. This is important because you'll hear locals say something like "I'll be Uptown between Seventh & Eighth on the Sidewalk Side."
