Livable Streets Look Like This: Grand Street

Heading home to the LES or one of the East River Bridges? Take the safest and most scenic route through Soho and Chinatown, stop for dinner to meet with friends. Experience what a truly Livable Street is. (And don’t forget to always brake and politely ding for pedestrians, they’ll think you’re awesome. Even more than we do.)
Grand Street’s bike lane is also one of the safest ways to avoid dangerously non-Livable Delancy Street, here’s a map:
Ride safe & ride often, with friends!
As much as a I love Grand street, i can’t do the bike lane anymore. The lane is almost always occupied by pedestrians or people carting vegetables and constantly have to yell at people to get out of the way. I used to ride down Grand to get to the Westside Highway but now i take Houston, because it’s less crowded and a more quick route.
