Note
Yes, this is not a typo.We say 'on the street' and not 'in the street'
At least we do so when we talk about the street in general.
Auf der Straße sind viele Leute. (There are a lot of people in the street.)
Ich bin auf der Straße. (I am in the street.)
However when we specify a street, e.g. by giving the street name, we use in
in der Friedrichstraße
Be careful with wohnen (to live (in a place)/reside
Always use 'in'
Ich wohne in der Friedrichstraße. - (I live in Friedrich street.)
Ich wohne auf der Friedrichstraße. (I am a homeless person staying in Friedrich street.
'auf der Straße wohnen' - means to literally live on top of the street.
thinking of it ... I would also not 'auf der Straße essen' :D
