Nassau Street (Manhattan)

Nassau Street is in the Financial District, within the borough of Manhattan in New York City.

For its entire route, Nassau Street runs one block east of Broadway and Park Row.

[1] Late in the 20th century Nassau Street was closed to motor traffic during certain hours, in order to promote shopping.

[6] With the dispersal of most dealers in the 1970s, a process that accelerated with internet trading, the street no longer has this character.

[6][7] Nassau Street was also the title of a book written in the 1960s by Herman Herst Jr.[8] that described the "golden age" of the stamp collecting industry.
