Into Chinatown

Spider-Man leaps from the armored car exiting the alley into Chinatown in order to snatch the last vial of plutonium from being run over by a police car. He ends up hitching a ride with some emergency service vehicles, so to speak. Taking a call from Gwen, Peter indicates he’s on Broadway.

Spider-Man picks up the vial in front of the distinctive yellow sign in front of Karlee Hardware and Electric on Madison Street. The chase continues westbound towards Catherine Street.
