According to the NYCVisit web site's page on the The Dutch Contribution to New York's Vocabulary, "bowery" means "farm." The street followed the path of a road leading to a Peter Stuyvessant's farm. (See related link for more information.)

== == == == An aside: Nicolas de la Plaine, a French Huguenot that came to America in 1639 with the Dutch, owned a tulip farm that is now the Bowery. He was also the Burger of New Amsterdam (New York).
