How to generate the names of WAY that a certain Node is part of

I'm brand new to OpenStreetMap. Please kindly understand if this question has been asked before.

I'm trying to write a query in Overpass Turbo (open to other data mining tool) so that it generates every name of cross streets that a node is part of.

For example of Node 42449597 the output will be : Warren Street, Church Street, Church Street, and Warren Street

Eventually this query is intended to go after another one that will see select a few number of interested Nodes.

Hope this is clear. Many thanks, in advance!

One Answer:

Hi, you don't need to use Overpass for this. Returning all the tags of all the ways that use a given node ID is a single command from the standard OSM api:
