Tell me please what's the meaning of the phrase SANK ROO DOE NOO which, according to the Harry's Bar slogan, one should tell a taxi-driver in order to get there. Thanks.

5, Rue du 'Noo'. Noo could be anything. It's foreign, you know.
EDIT: Oh, it's an address. But in French. Cinq ('Sank') is 'five', Rue Du ('Roo doe') is 'Road of' or basically the bit of the roadname which is 'street' or 'road', so 'Main Street' is written 'Street of Main' in French.
