Beach Street

Beach Street is a street in the TriBeCa neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs East-West 1,742.4 feet (531.1 m) between West Broadway and West Street, and crosses York Street, Varick Street, Hudson Street, Collister Street, Greenwich Street and Washington Street.

Named for Paul Bache, the son-in-law of Anthony Lispenard, who owned Lispenard Meadows, just south of what is now Canal Street. Beach - in this case - is an Americanization of Bache, and the street was the first street carved out of the Lispenard farm at the end of the 18th Century.^[1] Coordinates: 40°43′14.3″N 74°0′34″W / 40.720639°N 74.00944°W / 40.720639; -74.00944
