Interesting streets in Manhattan?
Each time I visit Manhattan I fall in love even further. I love just walking up and down different streets. During my last visit I found the far East side along the water from 63rd down to 48th (63rd st. Pedestrian Bridge, Sutton Place, Beekman Place etc.). Does anyone have any interesting streets in Manhattan that have made a major impression on them while there (i.e interesting architecture, unique shops, green spaces etc.)

- St. Mark's Place - (8th St. between 3rd Ave. and Ave. A) - lots of record stores, t-shirt shops, tattoo shops - if you like that sort of thing. Plus Crif Dogs (deep-fried hot dogs), an automat, and my favorite bar, the Hop Devil Grill (Belgian Room next door) 23rd St. between Park Ave. and 8th Ave. is where I spend a lot of time - Live Bait restaurant, the famous "Flatiron" building, the Shake Shack in Madison Park, plus the BBQ restaurant on 23rd and 8th. Cosmic Comics if you like comic books. Rickshaw Dumpling House, Outback Steakhouse and Olive Garden.
- Mulberry Street: Little Italy, Chinatown and the inspiration for 1sDr. Seuss book, all on one street. 'I Saw It on Mulberry Street.'
- I LOVE spending time down in the greenwich village. its by far my favorite place to be in the city. They have so many unique styles of architecture in combination with all kinds of different restaurants & bakeries, shopping boutiques, and popular landmarks. Washington square park is a cool place to hang out and spend time.. Roaming streets anywhere in the village is always fun because you can always come across something different and you'll be sure to always find something interesting. If you do go to the village, check out Magnolia's bakery.. best cupcakes ever! =)
- Short Indian Road is only called "Road" in Manhattan's Inwood due to it's history was indian territory. Henry Hudson Parkway was name after Henry Hudson who travels across the Hudson River in his "Half Moon boat" Frederick Douglass Blvd (110th-159th Sts) is name after black slave who try to follow north star during the slavery." Some part of East 125th St in Manhattan, including in Bronx, and White Plains are name after famous Martin Luther King Junior who lead illegal march to capitol in DC. Malcolm X Blvd: Name after Malcolm X. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Duke Ellington Blvd (West 116th St) Luis Monuz Marin Blvd (Some part of 116th St) Madison Avenue: Name after person.
