Many visitors want to know where is Canal Street in New York. Mainly it's the shopping locations, and the fake purse, and knock-off designer items people are after. I've highlighted vendor locations in
orange on my maps. Most are centered around the intersection of Broadway and Canal, east and west.

For the everyday shopper, there are generally three types of vendors.
The first are those who sell t-shirts, souvenirs, handbags, and cheap perfume from a rented storefront. Merchandise can sometimes be knockoffs; if they are, they usually they don't want to advertise that fact because who wants to be raided by the police, and shut down?
Then there are the street peddlers hawking knockoff sunglasses, handbags, and dvds out of shabby suitcases on the sidewalk. These guys always run away at the first sign of police as they are breaking several laws all at once (no vending license, blocking traffic on the sidewalk, and selling counterfeit merchandise.)

Lastly, the touts on the street corners who utter 3-4 magic words to each passing stranger, "Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Coach?" They show you pictures of the handbags they have, and they either go get it for you, or you might have to follow them to secret locations to buy these better quality fakes.

Another big area where handbags and other accessories are sold is Broadway between 26th-32nd st (south-north), Broadway-6th Ave (east-west), and also Battery Park City where many Nigerian street peddlers congregate.
The hours kept by most souvenir and purse vendors on canal street range from 9-10am to ~6-7pm, 7 days a week, rain or shine (except during major snow storms). The car stereo stores and other business on canal street open, and close later.

Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal Street) is located south of Canal, and west of Broadway, with the best
restaurants—Nobu, Odeon, Chanterelle, Megu, Harrison, Bouley Bakery, etc.—centered around Franklin,
Hudson, and Greenwich Streets; and also south near Duane Street not shown on this map.
Many high-end interior design, and accessory shops are also located in and around TriBeca.
SoHo (South of Houston Street) is located north of Canal Street, between Sixth Avenue, and Broadway.
Most art galleries, and high-end designer clothing stores are located in SoHo, with West Broadway being the
place "to see and be seen" on the weekends.
Broadway is the main shopping street for regular street clothing and fashion.

Little Italy is north of Canal, with all the red sauce restaurants, and eateries centered on Mulberry, Hester, and Grand Streets. North of Little Italy, which many have coined "Nolita" features many small designer clothing stores and shops.
Chinatown is vast with old Chinatown (and chinese restaurants) centered around Mott, Bayard, and Pell Streets, and the "newer" areas north of Canal, and east of the Bowery. For basic cooking ingredients, the three main streets are located along Mott street between Grand and Canal; Grand Street between Elizabeth and Forsyth; and East Broadway from Chatham Square to Allen St.
The Lower East Side is considered areas east of the Bowery. The Bowery itself is practically all
lighting, and restaurant supply stores. Orchard Street is home to discount clothing, suits, and underwear, although in recent years many of the stores (those located below Delancey) have closed down with chinatown, and the lower east side--bars and restaurants--closing in fast.
