👉 East Broadway (Manhattan) in the context of Canal Street (Manhattan)

Canal Street (Chinese: 堅尼街) is a major east–west street in Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States, running over 1 mile (1.6 km) from East Broadway between Essex and Jefferson Streets in the east, to West Street between Watts and Spring Streets in the west. It runs through the neighborhood of Chinatown, and forms the southern boundaries of SoHo and Little Italy as well as the northern boundary of Tribeca. The street acts as a major connector between Jersey City, New Jersey, via the Holland Tunnel (I-78), and Brooklyn in New York City via the Manhattan Bridge. It is a two-way street for most of its length, with two unidirectional stretches between Forsyth Street and the Manhattan Bridge.

Canal Street follows the path of underground waterworks that had been built in the early 19th century to drain a series of marshy and eventually sewage-filed ponds, including Collect Pond.
