Thompson Street (Manhattan)

Thompson Street is a street in the Lower Manhattan neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and SoHo in New York City, which runs north–south, from Washington Square Park at Washington Square South to the Avenue of the Americas below Grand Street, where the street turns right to Sixth Avenue; it thus does not connect with Canal Street just a half block south of the turning point. It runs parallel to and between Sullivan Street, and LaGuardia Place which becomes West Broadway. Vehicular traffic goes southbound.
