13th St Between Hudson St and 8th Ave

Cutting through the area as other streets intersect with it, this stretch of 13th St has only a small percentage of the shops found just a block or two away. Generally quiet and filled with plenty of interesting buildings, the center of this block has an interesting intersection where 13th St, Gansevoort and W4th all meet. For The latter two, this is where they begin (W4th really seems to take on a life of it's own as it meanders south and east), so they don't cut through.

Because of all these streets, it's a pretty airy, wide-open area.  The intersection that you're left with on the 8th ave side is a bit of a dead end as 13th wraps around a triangular plot of land with the help of Horatio and Greenwich avenue.  Good luck crossing.
