East Houston Street

East Houston Street is a street that runs parallel to Delancey Street, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The street can be considered as the border between Lower East Side and the East Village.

Among the sights along East Houston Street is the Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery, an establishment that has been there for the past 90 years. It is located between the intersections of East Houston Street with Forsyth Street and Eldridge Street.

The Sunshine Theater is also another landmark of East Houston Street. It was constructed in the 1840's, and looks like a Dutch Reformed Church. Over the ages, the theater has been the venue for everything from boxing to vaudeville, and today shows art films.

The Jewish flavor of Lower East Side is still apparent at Russ and Daughters, a store that sells smoked fish and herring. It has been around at this location since 1914.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
