 Searching for location address from openstreetmap.org using below query;
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=18th+Street%2C+New+York+City%2C+New+York&viewbox=-73.96%2C40.61%2C-73.95%2C40.6

 Above query gives following results;
 * 18th Street, Brooklyn, New York City, Kings, New Jersey, 11215, United
 States of America
 * 18th Street, Brooklyn, New York City, Kings, New Jersey, 11218, United
 States of America
 * 18th Street, Queensview Apartments, Long Island City, New York City,
 Queens, New Jersey, 11102, United States of America
 * 18th St, New York City, Queens, New Jersey, 11105, United States of
 America

 In any case, State should not be "New Jersey", but should be "New York".

 Looking up place_id against "New York City" gives below result;
 query  -> http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=97524430
 result ->
   Address
 ...
   New York (Type: boundary:administrative, relation 61320, 4,
 2.79847270267168 GOTO)
   New Jersey (Type: place:state, node 316973311, 15, 0.77667008952675
 GOTO)
 ...

 "New York City" place id should result state node 316976734 "New York".
 Instead it returns with state node 316973311 "New Jersey".
