Beach Street (Manhattan)

Beach Street (Manhattan)

Beach Street is a street in the TriBeCa neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs East-West 1,742.4 feet between West Broadway and West Street, and crosses York Street; Varick Street; Hudson Street; Collister Street; Greenwich Street; and Washington Street.

Named for Paul Bache, the son-in-law of Anthony Lispenard, who owned Lispenard Meadows, just south of what is now Canal Street. Beach - in this case - is an Americanization of Bache, and the street was the first street carved out of the Lispenard farm at the end of the 18th Century.
