Houston Street is one of the most important streets of Manhattan, with New York. Houston Street is indeed one of the rare streets of Manhattan to double direction (the North-South main roads are avenues). It is located in Downtown (southern district of the city) and connects of west is the Hudson River with the East River. It corresponds moreover to the border between the Greenwich Village and SoHo (which means off South Houston Street ) in the west, and between the East Village and the Lower East Side in the east. Houston Street is used moreover as starting point with the cadastral organization of Manhattan imagined at the time of the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, since First Street is located just at north.
