Henry St, Lower East Side

Supposedly the history of Henry Street is one that has welcomed many immigrants and poor people to its area but its current incarnation as part of the burgeoning Chinatown district of New York is a great place to visit. It’s a vibrant and extremely busy street with plenty to see and do so whilst there isn’t a lot to make you stop off and sight see, if you want a feel of busy life and grab some great food, Henry Street is an ideal choice.

Henry Street is a great residential block that offers some solace from the streets around it. With interesting architecture and beautiful buildings it is a great place to call home. It's close to East Broadway for good food and intersects with Pike Street for entertainment and all around fn. Overallit's a great place to call home but not really a place for tourists.

Henry street is fairly residential and like many other residential streets in the city not much goes on right on the block. The area around it however has great entertainment. What is of interest on Henry street is the architecture. Many of the buildings have rounded corners, which is odd to see in a city like New York. A few delis and other conveniences dot the area, but nothing that drives tourists to the area. Most of the shops are for local residents. There is a nice community feeling to the area and the neighborhood has a nice friendly feel to it.

There’s not much going on in the way of fun on Henry street, and similar to those around it, it’s only perk is that it is nearby the other more eventful streets. I did, however, enjoy the wonderful architecture and friendly atmosphere of the street. It is nearby the park and is very conveniently located in this bustling neighborhood.
