NEW YORK’s Brede Weg, now Broadway, as seen from the corner of Prins Straat, now Prince Street. Named for Dutch Prince Willem III, stadtholder of Holland, king of England and America, and popular. Just about all cities, towns, villages, streets, rivers, fjords, boulevards with the names Nassau, Orange, William or Prince in them are dedicated to the Dutch prins.
The building on the corner is the same as it was in 1860 when it was completed. The four additional floors were built on top later.
New further along is restaurant The Dutch and, for example, Eddie Haan’s Cole Haan shoe store, say, between Vandam Street, Bleecker Street and Greene Street, formerly a red district and named not for an individual but for the pine trees (Dutch: green or grenen, pronounced grain) that used to grow there. Prince Street ends at the Bowery, a phoneticized word for Boerderij, Dutch for farm. Because those used to be there, way back then.
So much Dutch touch in New Amsterdam.
