Bleecker St Between Lafayette St and Bowery

   

This little segment of Bleecker Street always stands out on a map thanks to it being the terminus for Mulberry, Mott, Elizabeth and Bleecker itself. Yes, Bleecker: Where streets go to die. The block is dark and generally not very crowded, but that's not to say it isn't welcoming. The 6 train stop on Lafayette has more entrances right next to each other than should be allowed. The Bleecker Theater is a small, but cool space on the wester side of the block which houses a variety of shows.

The block is rather sparse, most of the storefronts are either closed, or seemingly private. Even the restaurants closer to Bowery act as if they have something to hide. There's a bike line that runs down the left edge of the street which then cuts in to the center near the traffic light – which, and I'll admit I'm no city planner, seems really dangerous.
