[…] There is currently just one Lispenard Street sign, at Broadway, the tail end of the one-way street. Lispenard’s other two intersections have no signs.” —DNAinfo

  1. Re the restaurant photos: I’m guessing, but apparently Harvey’s was in a building that was knocked down in urban removal to make way for Beekman Downtown Hospital (now NY Downtown Hospital). And the exact site is now the plaza just west of 8 Spruce Street (aka New York by Gehry).
