Wooster Street in SoHo

The Performing Garage in 2014

Wooster Street is a street in SoHo and Greenwich Village in Manhattan, which runs south to north from Canal Street to Washington Square.^[1] It is a prime location for on-location filming and photo shoots due to its relatively low traffic, and the flagstone sidewalks and cobblestone street give it an old gritty feel. It is depicted as a night-time rainy street on the cover of the issue of The New Yorker dated February 8, 2021.

History[]

The street is named after an American Revolutionary War General, David Wooster.^[2] Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse held Nos. 24 and 26 early in the company's history.^[3]

The street is home to many boutiques, restaurants (including a branch of the Momofuku Milk Bar) and cultural institutions such as The Wooster Group, an experimental theater company based at the Performing Garage at 33 Wooster Street.
