Weehawken Street (Manhattan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Weehawken Street is a short street located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City's Greenwich Village, one block from the Hudson River, between Christopher Street and West 10th Street. During the colonial era it was the site of a ferry landing and market where fresh produce was brought to Manhattan from farms across the river.[1]

The land within the Weehawken Street Historic District was part of the late 18th Century Newgate State Prison, until the land was sold off in 1829 by the City of New York.
