Canal Street begins in the west at the Hudson River and ends in the east at the intersection with Broadway.
Canal Street begins in the west at the Hudson River and ends in the east at the intersection with Broadway.
Canal Street is aptly named because it follows the old route of a canal built in the early 19th century. The crossing with Broadway was once marked by a bridge, now gone.
This proximity to the canal led to the degradation of the surrounding buildings and made this street one of the slums of the Five Points. Today, however, the neighborhood has rebounded and become one of the most popular places in Manhattan.
