Canal Street


The First National City Bank of New York @ 415-417 Broadway and many fake bags sellers 

Chinatown in New York‘s main street, one mile long running east-west direction. At end of 2021, is filled with persistent sellers of counterfeit bags. As soon I got off the N train at Canal Street subway station, which is at the corner of Broadway and Canal, I see them, or encircled by them.

At the corner of Canal and Bowery

The mile long street from East Broadway (between Essex and Jefferson streets near the Manhattan Bridge), to West Street between Watts/Spring streets at the other end. Being the southern boundaries of SoHo and Little Italy and north to Tribeca.

Eastbank at 183 Centre St and Good Luck Jewelry at 191 Canal Street

It seems they’re all concentrated on Canal Street because last time I was there for dinner at Ping’s Seafood, I didn’t see a single one – perhaps it was evening. So many of them, holding laminated photos of the counterfeit bags, soliciting on the side walks, in lower Manhattan.

Canal Street Market @ 265 Canal St. is opened.
