3 Stop 3 of 12 on The Bloody Angle and the Golden Buddha

Canal Street

Chinatown, New York City

A Preview

"You're on Canal Street. Widest, loudest, most chaotic street in the neighborhood. Six lanes of gridlock, a river of people, tables of sunglasses, and a smell coming off the seafood stalls that arrives about a half-second before you do. Start with the name, because the name is the first lie on the street. It's called Canal Street because there was, in fact, a canal here."
