How to Get to Chinatown There Are Many Ways to Arrive in Chinatown and the Canal Street Subway Station Is T
How to get to Chinatown There are many ways to arrive in Chinatown and the Canal Street subway station is the closest to the starting point of this tour, the NYC and Company information kiosk at 210 Canal Street. We recommend using this link for directions to the tour starting point. All the major hopon, hopoff buses offer at least one stop in Chinatown. Read our comparison post on which bus company might be right for you. Full Size Movable Map Back to top SelfGuided Tour Start your tour at the Visitor’s Kiosk where they often have free copies of Time Out Magazine and also nifty pocketsized foldable subway maps! Baxter Street Throughout the 1700s, the area west of Baxter Street and south of Canal Street was a swampy area known as Collect Pond which provided drinking water to Colonial New York. In 1811, the City drained the area by building a canal which was later covered over in 1821 and was named, of course, Canal Street. In 1838, the land where the swamp once was became the site of New York City’s jail. Because the building was built to resemble an Egyptian mausoleum, the jail came to be called “The Tombs”. The original building was torn down and eventually a new modern Manhattan House of Detention was erected. It is still referred to as “the Tombs” by attorneys and prosecutors today. The building next to the jail is Manhattan’s Criminal Court building. It is open to the public and you can sit in on trials during the day or night court from 5 pm1am.
