    Stuyvesant Street is one of the oldest streets in New York and offers photo opportunities of a wealth of historic locations and classic brownstones. The street is located in the East Village and really shows off everything this bohemian area is known for: the classic paving stones and bricks on the pavement and old brick buildings. Not only is this street incredibly photogenic, but it's also like walking into the past. It was a vital market thoroughfare in the 18th and 19th centuries, and many of those structures still stand today. It's such an important street that the Commissioner's Plan of 1811, which called for New York to adopt a grid for streets, made Stuyvesant an exception.
