Madison St Between Rutgers St and Clinton St

This area seems to me like a patchwork of surrounding neighborhoods. With the East River and East Broadway defining the general boundaries of this sub-grid of streets, there's only so far you can go before you stumble upon something completely different.

With Madison Street being a large, double-wide road (to me, it seems bigger than Madison Avenue, but I could be wrong), you can get a pretty clear view down either direction. There's a large housing project on the south side while older buildings (and some new construction) make up the north.
