Bond Street (Manhattan)
Bond Street is an east–west street running between Broadway and Bowery, in the NoHo neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City.[1][2]
History
[edit]The actual namesake of the street is undetermined. It may have been named for city surveyor William Bond, or for a mention in an 1817 guidebook referring to Broadway as "The Bond Street of New York".[3]
24 Bond Street was the location of Beatrice and Sam Rivers' studio RivBea[4] and of Robert Mapplethorpe's first studio.[5] Mile End Sandwich, a spin-off restaurant of Mile End Delicatessen, the Jewish deli in Brooklyn, is located on Bond Street between Bowery and Lafayette Street.[2] The Robbins & Appleton Building is located at the western end of the street, at 1–5 Bond Street,[6]: 255 while the Bond Street Savings Bank is at the eastern end at 54 Bond Street.[6]: 241 More recently, Bond Street became the location of stores for Billy Reid[7] and Drake's OVO Clothing clothing brand.
