2nd St Between Ave A and 1st Ave

Really just a stretch that moonlights as a glorified parking lot, this first part of 2nd street after exiting Alphabet City has little to offer. Being extra wide the block is unique with its diagnol parking arrangemet - something you'll rarely see in the space-deprived lower east side.

Besides endless cars, you'll also find some religious institutions lining the southern half of the street. Even more parking lots seperate the buildings allowing glimpses of Houston St. Near the ends of the block there are a few hookah bars, but nothing of particular note.
