Bedford St
"About Bedford Street"
Bedford Street offers different architecture as compared to the other buildings in New York. Named for a street in London's Covent Garden. That street is the address of St. Paul's Church, which may have something to do with why the name was appropriated.
Beautiful buildings, beautiful restaurants, and beautiful sights to see.

Ludlow St
"About Delancey Street"
Delancey Street is another street in New York City named after a man named Delancey who once owned a farm on the street in the early colonial days. Delancey Street was once a high-rent shopping district--though by 1922. Through much of the 20th Century, the street went through some hard times-- which is why rapper Dana Dane's 1987 hit ''Delancey Street'' is about being held up at gunpoint while shopping for clothes. However, I think it is best known after a film called Crossing Delancey; it is about a Jewish woman finding love on the ethnic south side of the street.

Bleecker St
"Night clubs here rock!"
It is in the Greenwich Village night club district not far from Washington Square Park. You can find the best restaurants, the best bars, and the best girls! Bleecker Street was named for Anthony Bleecker, a lawyer and poet. He got this honor not for his writing, apparently, but because the street ran through his farm.

Canal St
"Canal Street = really a canal?"
Canal Street actually was a canal before--or at least a channel to drain the heavily polluted ponds. It was dug in 1805 and paved over as a stagnant health hazard in 1815, but an underground stream apparently still flows beneath the roadway. It's one of the most famous New York streets, also called "Little Italy."
