Forsyth Street (Manhattan)
- Forsyth Street (Manhattan)
Forsyth Street runs from Houston Street south to East Broadway in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The street was named in 1817 for Lt. Colonel Benjamin Forsyth.
Forsyth Street's southernmost portion, separated from the rest by a one-block interruption north of Canal Street, runs parallel to the Manhattan Bridge in Chinatown. Along this southern stretch, a number of so-called “Chinatown buses” (operated by different companies) start their routes to cities across North America, including Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit and Washington, D.C..
Forsyth Street is interrupted north of Canal Street for one block due to a 20th century school built on the former route, then runs parallel to Chrystie Street, with Sara D. Roosevelt Park separating the two. Unusually for New York, there is angle parking. The street traverses the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan.
From south to north, Forsyth Street starts at East Broadway, intersects Berry Street and ends at Canal Street, then continues from Hester Street, intersects Grand Street, Broome Street, Delancey Street, Rivington Street and Stanton Street, and ends at Houston Street.
