Greene Street

Greene Street is a street in the Soho neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is the heart of the Cast-Iron District of New York, so named because, as you walk through the five blocks of Greene Street, you will pass through some fifty cast-iron buildings. Most of these buildings were put up between 1869 and 1895.

As you explore this section of New York City, you will be able to admire 13 full cast-iron façades between Broome Street and Spring Street. The row between Nos. 8 to 34 is the longest row of cast-iron buildings. The finest, called the King of Greene Street, is at Nos. 72 to 76, seconded by the Queens, at Nos. 28-30. Many of the cast-iron buildings have today been converted into galleries.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
