About

The street's identity has layered up over three centuries, Huguenot weavers, then a Jewish garment trade, then the Bangladeshi curry houses it is best known for today, and the street art changes fast enough to reward a second visit within the month. Sunday turns the whole strip into a sprawling market of vintage stalls, records and food vendors spilling into the surrounding backstreets. The 24 hour bagel shop near the north end has outlasted most of the restaurants around it.
