The Walk » Near the southern end of the park
is a small alley that leads to Mott St. Follow Mott
St back through Chinatown and make a right on
Canal St – explore these blocks at your leisure.
Canal Street
This is Chinatown’s main artery, where
you’ll dodge oncoming human traffic as
you scurry into back alleys to scout for
treasures from the Far East. You’ll pass
seafood stalls hawking slippery fish; herb
shops displaying a witch’s cauldron’s
worth of roots and potions; restaurants
with whole roasted ducks hanging in the
windows; and street vendors selling every
iteration of knock-off designer goods.
The Walk » Walk east on Canal St and navigate
the tricky intersection where the Manhattan Bridge
on- and off-ramps converge. Continue for another
two blocks before making a right on Eldridge St.
Eldridge Street Synagogue
Built in 1887 with Moorish and
Romanesque ornamental work, this
synagogue was flourishing at the
turn of the 20th century but closed
in the 1950s because of dwindling
membership. A 20-year restoration
project was completed in 2007 and
it now holds Friday evening and
Saturday morning services; tours of the
building are available. Perhaps the most
breathtaking aspect of the interior is the
massive circular stained-glass window
above the ark (where torahs are kept).
The Walk » Take Orchard or Ludlow Sts, both
lined with trendy cafes and shops, north to Katz’s.
Katz’s Delicatessen
One of the few remnants of the classic,
old-world Jewish Lower East Side
dining scene, this is the restaurant
where Meg Ryan faked her famous
orgasm in the 1989 flick When Harry
Met Sally. If you love classic deli grub
like massive pastrami, corned beef,
brisket and tongue sandwiches, it
might have the same effect on you.
Hold on to the ticket you’re handed
when you walk in and pay cash only.
The Walk » Head west on East Houston St until
you reach the Bowery; a left will take you back to
the New Museum.
