Dominick St Between Varick St and Hudson St

    

Who the hell has ever heard of Dominick Street? Only two blocks long and appearing to act mostly as a filler between 6th Avenue and the Holland Tunnel entrance. The only building of note down here would be the Trump SoHo hotel, which I seem remember from one of earlier seasons of The Apprentice. In terms of the amount of glass used, I would expect nothing less from Mr. Trump.

Regardless of Trump's presence, it's still pretty desolate around here. Halfway down the block I noticed some random poles in the middle of the sidewalk. It wasn't until I walked up to them that I realized they were there to protect the overpass above the Holland Tunnel entrance. Heavily fenced-off, the area above the tunnel appeared to be – at one point – accessible to walk around on. It's understandably blocked now. Across the street from this strange little area is a parking garage, which has brilliantly advertised the prices at its lot in NJ – visible only to the people driving into the tunnel.
