Delancy St Between Clinton St and Norfolk St

Right near the base of the Williamsburg Bridge, this part of Delancey is a bit dead. Sure, there's a good enough selection of stores, but with a big empty void on the south side of the block, you're a bit stuck.

The massive size of Delancey makes for a loud, crowded stretch of road, and the grungy nature of the area make for a rather un-welcome feeling. However, if you're looking for something that is uniquely New York, and hasn't really sold out (yet) to the real estate world, this area should fit the bill.
