Canal Street - New York City, USA

Canal Street and Broadway, Lower East Side

If you want to shop at Louis Vuitton, go to Fifth Avenue. If you want a knock-off Louis Vuitton handbag for $25, go to Canal Street. This major Lower Manhattan street is named for an actual canal dug in the early 1800s. Today, however, it is flooded with counterfeit purses, pirated CDs and street vendors. Canal Street is bargain shopping at its best. The street also separates Chinatown from Little Italy, two neighbourhoods definitely worth exploring - or at least eating in. Start at the Subway stop at Canal Street and Broadway (serviced by several different lines, including the 6 train)and walk east. If nothing else, you'll find a cheap souvenir.
