You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.25.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:29, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 100.25.246.88.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History and description==
Grand Street was once part of the lands of [[James De Lancey (politician)|James De Lancey Jr.]] When his sister Ann married [[Thomas Jones (historian)|Judge Thomas Jones]] he gave them a two-acre estate known as "Mount Pitt", near the site of present-day Pitt and Grand Streets.<ref>{{cite web |last=Frederick |first=Shiloh |date=June 19, 2018 |url=https://untappedcities.com/2018/06/19/5-must-see-spots-from-nycs-first-guidebook-published-in-1807/2/ |title=Mount Pitt |website=Untapped New York}}</ref> It was one of the highest natural points on Manhattan island. In early 1776, a circular redoubt was built there, where [[Joseph Spencer|General Joseph Spencer]] established a battery.<ref>[https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/03-04-02-0299 "General Orders, 22 May 1776", Founders Online, National Archives]</ref> The British captured the defenses the following November and renamed it Jones Hill Fort. The hill was later leveled and some of the field stone used for the construction of [[St. Augustine's Church (Manhattan)|St. Augustine's Church]] on [[Henry Street (Manhattan)|Henry Street]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nycago.org/organs/nyc/html/staugustineepis.html |title=St. Augustine Episcopal Church|publisher=New York City Chapter of the [[American Guild of Organists]]|access-date=2021-08-21 |archive-date=2021-08-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210821031007/http://www.nycago.org/organs/nyc/html/staugustineepis.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Bayard Mount at the site of present-day Grand and Mott Streets was the tallest hill in lower Manhattan, and overlooked the [[Collect Pond]]. In April 1776, the Bayard's Hill redoubt, (also known as Fort Bunker Hill) was constructed as part of the defenses across Manhattan Island.<ref>[https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/03-04-02-0105#GEWN-03-04-02-0105-fn-0001 "General Orders, 25 April 1776", Founders Online, National Archives]</ref> After the war, this became a popular site for dueling. In 1802 work began on leveling Mount Bayard.

St. Mary's Catholic Church is located at 438-440 Grand Street between Pitt and Attorney Streets.<ref>''[https://books.google.com/books?id=qO0bAAAAIAAJ&dq=San+Salvatore%2BChurch%2BManhattan&pg=PA390 The World Almanac 1892 and Book of Facts]'' (New York: Press Publishing, 1892), p. 390.</ref> The parish was established in 1826 to serve Irish immigrants living in the neighborhood, it is the third-oldest Catholic parish in New York.<ref name="nycago">{{citation|url=http://www.nycago.org/Organs/NYC/html/StMaryRC.html|title=Church of St. Mary (Roman Catholic)|author1=American Guild of Organists |author2=New York City chapter }}</ref> The church itself was built in 1832–33, and its facade replaced in 1871 by the noted architect [[Patrick Charles Keely]]. The original portion is the second-oldest Roman Catholic structure in the city, after [[St. Patrick's Old Cathedral]], which was built in 1815.<ref name=aia>{{cite aia5}} p. 106</ref>

[[Ferrara Bakery and Cafe]] was established at 195 Grand Street in 1892.

The [[Bowery Savings Bank]] building at [[130 Bowery]], extending to Grand and Elizabeth Streets, was designed by [[Stanford White]] of the architecture firm of [[McKim, Mead & White]], and built in 1893–95. It is a [[New York City designated landmark]]<ref>{{Cite nycland|pages=46–47}}</ref> and on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Federal Register: 46 Fed. Reg. 10451 (Feb. 3, 1981)|publisher=[[Library of Congress]]|date=February 3, 1981|url=https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/fedreg/fr046/fr046022/fr046022.pdf|access-date=March 8, 2020|page=10649 (PDF p.&nbsp;179)}}</ref>

The [[Bialy (bread)|bialy]] bakery [[Kossar's Bialys]] was founded in 1936.

[[File:3-coops.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[Cooperative Village]] at the eastern end of Grand Street. [[Amalgamated Dwellings]] in foreground, one of the oldest [[housing cooperative]]s in the United States. East Side Glatt is also shown]]
[[Cooperative Village]], a collection of [[housing cooperative]]s, covers several blocks near the eastern portion of Grand Street. Other notable buildings include the old [[240 Centre Street|Police Headquarters Building]], the [[Home Savings of America]] building, and the [[Bialystoker Synagogue]].

As part of an experiment, in 1948, Grand Street west of [[Chrystie Street]] was converted to a one-way eastbound street.<ref>{{Cite news|date=1948-12-16|title=New Traffic Rules for Canal St. Zone; One-Way Crosstown Arteries to Be Set Up Saturday for 60-Day Test Period|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1948/12/16/archives/new-traffic-rules-for-canal-st-zone-oneway-crosstown-arteries-to-be.html|access-date=2024-01-15|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> Grand Street is one-way to motor vehicles west of Chrystie Street and two-way to its east. Grand Street is the location of an on-street bikeway which, west of Chrystie street, is between a lane of parked vehicles and the curb, and east of Chrystie Street, is indicated by [[shared lane marking]]s of various types.<ref>[http://john-s-allen.com/galleries/NYC/ New York city field trip documentation: see Grand Street entries.]</ref>

==Transportation==
In the 19th century, before the construction of the [[Williamsburg Bridge]], the [[Grand Street Ferry]] connected Grand Street to [[Grand Street and Grand Avenue|its counterpart]] in [[Brooklyn]].

The [[New York City Subway]]'s [[Grand Street station (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|Grand Street station]], serving the {{NYCS trains|Manhattan Bridge north}}, is at the intersection of Grand and Chrystie Streets.<ref>{{NYCS const|map}}</ref>

The following bus routes serve Grand Street, all of which terminate at its eastern end:
