Manhattan’s 3rd Street cuts through the lowest stretches of Alphabet City, the East Village, NoHo, and the heart of NYU, wrapping up at the gates of the West Village. For a two block stretch between Bowery and Broadway, 3rd also transforms into Great Jones Street (with a pretty amusing origin, if curious). Enjoy the chilled, cobbled together (you’ll see) walk, block by block:

At this point my cold-drained battery went kaput and I (of course) neglected to bring a spare, so I rode out the last five blocks with the last four shots of film I had, plus one on the phone. The show must go on…!
