Stuyvesant Street (Manhattan)
Coordinates: 40°43′47.6″N 73°59′18.7″W / 40.729889°N 73.988528°W
Stuyvesant Street is one of the oldest streets in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs diagonally from 9th Street at Third Avenue to 10th Street near Second Avenue, all within the East Village, Manhattan neighborhood. The majority of the street is included in the St. Mark's Historic District.
Although the street runs diagonally in relation to the Manhattan street grid, geographically it is one of the few true east-west streets in Manhattan, since most of the grid runs southeast-northwest at a 28.9 degree offset. It is a one-way street, running east-bound.
Stuyvesant Street originally ran east through Petrus Stuyvesant's farm or "bowery" from Bowery Road, which today is Fourth Avenue, to the Stuyvesant manor house. The manor house burned down in October 1778 and the family sold the remaining cemetery and chapel, which today is the site of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery.
